The plot is amazing! I fell in love with the creativity of the book and all the characters were fascinating - so diverse and unique!

This book was simply amazing. ...more

Absolute Page-turner. Great ending. However, I had my qualms with it. For example, James Dashner often told us how the characters felt as opposed to showing us, which really irritated me.
