Better Than the Movie

It was a ok book, i read it when i was just 16, and it was easy to understand. Unlike the other review, im not going to ruin the book. Its very intersted to see how the vines work and how they go about doing what they do to the american people. If your looking for a simple read this would be it, and its just 10 dollars.

Liked it better than the movie

This book drew me in. I watched the movie years ago and enjoyed it, but I liked the book so much better. For whatever reason, I felt it more while listening, like the vines were in me, than when I watched it! Definitely a good listen.

It's Killer Vines!

Heard a lot of buzz about this book/movie being the fresh new face in the horror genre so I read the book (which is always better than the movie). Utter garbage! Bunch of annoying twenty-somethings get trapped on a hilltop surrounded by killer vines. Save yourself 300+ pages of boredom and let me spoil it for you... THEY ALL DIE!
