Unless I read a wholly different edition of the book, this appears to be a summary of the film, not the novel.

No one is killed by the Mayans at the beginning. Pablo falls down the mineshaft, Eric gets the plant in him, Amy is suffocated by the vine, Jeff is killed by Mayans trying to escape in the rainstorm, and Eric stabs Mathias after flaying himself. Stacy commits suicide at the foot of the hiil, and no one escapes. Smileyy (talk) 02:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

Plot is far too detailed and long, I'm in the process of summarizing it. Any help would be fantastic. DurinsBane87 (talk) 08:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree, this must be the movie plot and not the book plot. Smiley has already noted the differences well. Endy9.

Someone messed this up. This appears to be a plot synopsis of the film, which is somewhat different from the novel. Furthermore it is wrong, for instance in the film Dimitri is killed, in the book no one is killed by the Mayans. But this article claims the character Pablo is killed. Someone fix this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.84.93 (talk) 15:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I just read the book but haven't seen the movie. I think the film/book problem has been solved, but the synopsis is still too long, probably. Kunderhill (talk) 00:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
