I literally have chills right now after finishing this book! This is one of the most chilling dystopians I have ever read. I can't believe the ending!
I spent the first half of the book, not really enjoying the story much at all. A lot of that came from the fact that the reader is kept in the dark just as much as the main character, Thomas. Thomas only knows his first name. That's it. And while the rest of the boys in the Glade know a bit more, they are reluctant at telling him anything. Apparent ...more

2.5 stars. This one was a chore for me to get through. The lack of character development and world building left me wanting more.

One of the best YA I've read this year. The world that Dashner created was somehow believable not because of how it was described but what the characters felt. It has enough twist to keep you wanting more. The characters are interesting and the wo ...more

I liked this book because of the interest to want to know what would happen to the characters. The author made you care about what happened. I love science fiction although I would say I liked watching sci fi movies instead. What intrigued me was the mystery surrounding the place that the main character finds himself. We want to know more about the place he is at so we keep reading to try to unravel the mystery. We learn a lot of things along the way, why they are there and how they are going to

This is a book I have to give five stars. I loved how when you started reading you also had no clue what was going on you felt the way Thomas felt wanting answers. I had a hard time sleeping during reading this because I did not want to put it down. I knew that each page held answers I was seeking. It had adventure and suspense and I just loved it and so happy I waited to read this so that I do not have to wait so long for the next book. I only have to wait a few weeks and after reading the endi

its been a long time since I've read a book that was so bad I couldn't finish reading it. I'm 3/4th the way thru the story is stuck going in circles and I can't see it getting any better.
