Interesting story, well written. I felt just as confused as the lead character, who doesn't have a clue who he is.
But it's tough to read in places, due to the intense violence, especially knowing it's against children. ...more

Check out my FULL Review at The Maze Runner Review
So, I really enjoyed the book at the beginning. Around halfway through it, there were some frustrations.
There were a lot of pointless things in the book.
Thomas kept saying he "just knew" he had to do things and do them a certain way. He just had these feelings, but they were never explained. I mean...in real life, gut feelings are real, but I'm pretty sure every single person ever questions those feelings. And I'm also pretty sure th ...more

This book was only okay. I am not in love with it and I found some parts slow, other than that it was a good concept.
A really good YA book. I don't see why someone would use cbildren for their own purpose but I have to say that these are smart kids. I can't wait to see if the movie will be as good as the book. I guess I can't expect it to be exactly as the book but as least good enough.

A popular series and this book is being made into a movie. So I wanted to find out what it was all about.
Dystopian fight for survival not dissimilar to the Hunger Games which has become the standard of measure.
It doesn't stand alone. There's too many mysteries and unknowns to be discovered still.

just an o.k read.. story premise is good, but it under-delivers. No hurry to continue with this particular series, but my son said he enjoyed Dasher's newest book 'Eye of the Minds', so perhaps I'll check that one out instead and see if it's any better...
