The first half of the book was reading about a group of people who are all just unlikeable. Then you move on to them doing something very stupid. And then the decision making continues to get worse until …. Well I guess that’s a spoiler. I didn’t care about the characters or what was happening to them. For similar but better quality horror, read The Troop by Tim Cutter
Smith writes with psychological acuity and real beauty, yet he doesn't pull punches. Appartient à la série éditorialeFischer Taschenbuch (17616)
Two American couples, just out of college, enjoy a pleasant, lazy beach holiday together in Mexico. On an impulse, they go off with newfound friends in search of one of their group--the young German, who, in pursuit of a girl, has headed for the remote Mayan ruins, site of a fabled archeological dig. Then the searchers--moving into the wild interior--begin to suspect that there is an insidious, horrific "other" among them...--From publisher description.

I wish we would have found out more about the backstory of the vines/Mayan villagers. Based on the title, I was expecting more lore…or really emphasis on the ruins. That’s more of an observation than a complaint. This was really entertaining and I’m glad I read it! ( )
