Summary: This is a good book, very interesting
Review: I read this book not long ago and I have to say that it was wonderfully written. The author puts you in Mulder and Scully's shoes (something that I wish I could do in real life :) and you can see everything that is going on. Mulder and Scully are very well portrayed and I love the way she described the-oops! Don't want to give it away! It's a must for all Philes!

Summary: Hmmm, this one was rather boring . . .
Review: I recently listened to the ABRIDGED version of another X-Files novelization called Antibodies and enjoyed it quite a bit (especially the smart dog bits). The ABRIDGED version of Ruins, though, just couldn't hold my attention for any length of time and I found myself doing a lot of rewinding when my mind would drift away. Could be the story was a dud or it could be my frame of mind. Either way I won't be re-reading this again and will be passing it along sooner rather than later. The story is about an archeological dig gone bad. Throw in an ancient curse, a search for a missing archeologist, possible human sacrifice (yikes!), then add some bad guy standbys like a drug dealer and the leader of a revolution and sprinkle it with bits of Scully and Mulder and you have yourself a story that falls to Ruins (at least for me). I'm sure it'll appeal to folks interested in archeology (there's lots of techie jargon tossed about), super die-hard X-Philes, and fans of Mitch Pilleggi, AKA Agent Skinner who does a decent job of narrating the story excepting a few bits where his tone takes a turn toward the monotonous.

Summary: Excellent book for everyone, not just X-Philes
Review: I thought this was the best X-Files book I have read. The plot was very exciting and always moving at a very thrilling pace. To summarize, Special Agents Mulder and Scully are investigating a death in Central America, where Mulder uncovers what he believes is an Inca temple made for extra-terrestrials. Excellent insight into both Mulder and Scully.

Summary: The best book of the X-Files (in this moment)
Review: The Ruins is the best X-Files book I've ever read. Also I read Goblins, Whirlwind, Ground Zero but I find the Ruins BEST of them. Mulder and Scully are presented as they are in the show (I can't say that about Ground Zero). Kevin J. Anderson write really excellent book.

Summary: The best yet!
Review: This is by far the best X-Files book written! I have read all of the except for the newest novelization of our favourite show, and although it was the first I read, it is still the best! Mulder and Scully's relationship is at it's strongest point. They are both witty, and smart. Once again, Scully is skeptical, but Mulder proves her wrong. The entire plot for this book is thick, and the people who you believe are innocent, could really turn out to be either! Despite the fact that some of these Mayan names could be a little confusing, it was definitely worth it. A genuine X-File. You know, the cases filed under X. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it an 11! Read it! In fact, read everything Mr. Anderson writes!

Summary: Good story marred by reciting of time over and over and over
Review: This story started out pretty good. I could imagine the Central American jungle quite well as I listened to the tape. M. Pilaggi (sp) aka Skinner has a fine voice. However, at the end of the story, the constant reciting of the time gets very very tiresome. 3:02 am, Friday, shots are fired. 3:03 am, Friday, some more shots are fired. The constant reciting of the time detracts from the story. Mitch, just describe the scene, we listeners are smart enough to realize that the battle happens over the course of one night! I got the feeling that you were stalling for time, trying to use up as much audio tape as possible. Bottom line, buy Ground Zero, then Anti- bodies first.

Summary: OH, YEAH!!!!!!!!
Review: When I first got the book, I just got it because it was X-files. I decided to read it last out of the three I got that day, because it didn't look as interesting as Ground Zero and Antibodies. I was so wrong! It had so much action, I loved it! I stayed up all night reading it! It was the last Kevin Anderson book I've read; I'm looking for more. MORE X-FILES BOOKS!!! I hope he's writing one right now...

Summary: This is a great book.
Review: Wonderful book. It was the first x-Files book I ever read, and it was great.The character of Scully was well portrayed, as was Mulder. Mr. Anderson needs to keep up the good work, and I'm sure the public will keep up the cash flow.I will, anyway.Feel free to e-mail me with any comments. ----GrayWolf1
