Book Reviews of Ruins (The X-Files)
Book Review: A decent book.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is decent. Not good, not bad, but decent. It features Mulder and Scully going against some weird force that's apparently setting off miniature nuclear explosions in a position to destroy those who have advanced the technology of nuclear weaponry. Kind of ironic, huh?Mulder and Scully's dialogue stays pretty well within the boundaries of their characters as laid out by the series. I could see this being an X-Files episode.
But like I said before, this is merely decent. The prose isn't breathtaking. There are no incredibly deep philosophical moments. No new ground was really exposed with the characters, but that's an impossibility with a series-based novel. The bottom line is that this is just vanilla. Get it if your a hardcore X-files fan, but otherwise? Fahgeddaboutit. There are much more interesting science fiction books, like Cosm and Mysterium.
