Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great, entertaining read
The X-files: Ruins is a fun, quick read that any fan of the show should find entertaining. It is well written by Kevin J. Anderson who also wrote the bestselling `Ground Zero' prior to Ruins. His style has a nice flow to it and he is able to transfer Dana Scully and Fox Mulder to text in a near perfect fashion. So if you're worried about this book because of its writing do not threat, because unlike most tie-in authors Anderson seems to have a real grip on his quality and what pleases viewers ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book!
Love, love, love this book! Kevin Anderson has the characters of Mulder and Scully spot on. The story is gripping and adventurous and is the best in the series. Definitely a must read for the X-files fan craving more Mulder/Scully stories.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Okay if you're not expecting much...
This book was not well thought out. Muldar's jokes are made without regard to the urgency of the situation. If you and your partner were standing alone at night in a spooky ghost city and armed soldiers appeared out of nowhere, would you crack a joke? If the U.S. military needed to blow up a pyramid would they attack it with a mortar? Would that even be enough? The firefight scene lacked realism. If you were the head of a small unit in a firefight against a much larger force and some FBI woman ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A way to revisit the series
I enjoyed this book very much. It was a way for me to rip myself from the reruns and visit the series from a new perspective. Yes, Rubicon says "uh" too much, and even though this pre-dates the movie it is a little similar..well, very similar, but it was a new adventure, and that was all that really mattered. It is interesting how Anderson used existing specualtions about the Mayan civilization, but twisted them into Mulder and Scully's universe. I am happy he didn't take too many liberties. That is ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The truth is not in here
This is the type of adaptation that gives adaptations a bad name.

The assignment of writing an "X-Files" book is a very difficult one. Anderson probably wasn't allowed to have any kind of meaningful character development, nothing can happen that has any sort of permanent effect on any of the regular X-Files characters, and you're introducing characters that every single reader has undoubtedly formed some preconceived notions about.

Given these limitations, perhaps all you ... Read More
