How are sales?

Hey guys. What's up? I know I didn't blog last week. I wanted to, but I was performing a social experiment to see how the world would react if I went a full week without blogging. No results of interest. Yet.

The Maze Runner has been out now for about a month. First off, that's hard to believe. I spent a year and a half counting down the days till its release, and now it's passed by, several weeks.... ...more

James Dashner read and liked Chris's review of The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1):

"This is a terrific read! Dashner has created an eerie dystopian world where the characters don't know who they can trust. It's packed with action and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. "

It was amazing. So intense, I was gripping the book, excited to find out how it ended. I read this in one day, not even that. I started it around 4:00 pm, and finished around 7:00 pm. Oh man! It was great! This book had everything, there was mystery, suspense, horror, a little humor. I felt this book was far too short, I wanted more, and I'm very happy this is a series, cause I want more. That is a first, well second, my wanting a book to be a series.
Well written, I loved the puzzles, but I figured out some of them, but not enough to make me bored. I love books that do that!!!! It kept me very entertain, all three hours.
The maze, i would just not live there, wow I know they didn't have a choice, but i would not stay, i don't blame them for trying to get out. But the maze is just, I can't believe that it was created, it's cruel.
I loved the part when he gets locked out for the night. AH!!!! I was gripping the book! And the monsters, and the walls, with the writing. Ehh!! I still shudder as I think about it. I'm just as shocked as the characters that he survived the night, with someone that was hurt!!!!

Alright, I am going to read this book again when it comes out, cause it was like really good!

Ok, now I'm going to add my problems with this book, apart from it being too short.
I thought that he should have put more monsters. I don't like that sort of thing, but I was hoping there were more than just that one type. I was a little disappointed when there weren't other monsters. Also, what the crap were the monsters? They were like freaky! I mean don't get me wrong, they were amazing and crazy and just freaked me out like none other, and made my skin crawl.
I was a little confused about why there were Maze Runners, maybe that just because I read it so fast.
I'm a little worried about his relationship with the girl. I'm worried that Dashner will make them relatives or something like that. Then it would be very odd, but whatever the Author can do what he wants.(less) "

"
This book rocked! Creepy, scary, edge of your seat adventure. This is the futuristic baby of Lord of the Flies, and The Hunger Games, with a dash of post apocalyptic. This book is going to be big, and you should read it before it comes out in ...more "
