STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Teen Scream Ideal for Big Screens
THE BIRDICT
💛 It’s no surprise this was made into a film. Beautiful teens, holiday horror, it’s made for the screen. It works well in the book too, but this is definitely more movie.
🖤 Overall I really enjoyed this. It’s scary, I thought the characters had some really interesting thoughts and traits. Yes, they were a bit generic, but that helped in simplifying detail for plot. They also worked well as a group. And the story always kept me interested. So far so good.
💙 Things got a bit slow at times as well as repetitive. It could have been an hour shorter and, had it been, it would have been a 4 star for me.
💚 I was sooo unhappy about the ending. Boo – explanation in the spoiler.
💗 This was like a cross between Scream and Brokedown Palace.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 This was a very easy listen. Patrick Wilson has a smooth voice with just an edge of gruffness. It reminded me of James Franco.
🎧 I would have preferred a female voice for the female roles. I could picture the male characters much more clearly than the female.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER: SIMILAR AUDIOBOOKS
I’m annoyed that everyone died. But I could have handled that. I could even have handled the Greeks arriving just that little too late. But I really wanted a prologue. Something to say what happened in the long run. It was frustrating not to have anything in terms of answers.

The Ruins
THE BLURB
The Ruins follows two American couples enjoying 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.
This is what happens from the moment the searchers, moving into the wild interior, begin to suspect that there is an insidious, horrific "other" among them.
