I thought it was just a fine book. Nothing particularly remarkable or offensively boring. The characters weren't really deeply fleshed out, which made it harder to care about them -- something needed in a horror book. I like adventure horror (i.e. like the 2005 movie The Descent, settings where characters are camping, hiking, etc.) and while I wouldn't shout about this book from the rooftops, I wouldn't tell someone not to read it.
