Chapter 5: The dialogue is so strange but appealing cause it makes you feel equally as lost as Thomas

The suspense is killing me!!

chapter 19: I'm hooked! even if Thomas is good or bad he has some moral ground not wanting to leave Alby behind. Why can't anyone just answer a question straight on? Does living in the Glade make you an asshole too?

I love Tom. Always trying to do the right thing.
Chapter 38...
Teresa is a tough one to figure out. Wondering how else this story unravels. Tom is always in the middle!!

Wow.. this is a crazy story. I love it! I can't put this book down and I have to, I have to get ready to go to the doctors... lol.
I love Thomas so much... his bravery and willingness to volunteer to die and just go through what he's been through for these boys he just met a week ago amazes me, but I get why... he helped create the maze and feels responsible. I love the connection between him and Teresa. It'll be interesting how this book ends. I know I'm going to want to read the next one. :)

Love love love this book!!! I couldn't put it down! The journey Tom, Teresa and the others went through just to "escape" had me on puns and needles. Certain parts were pretty predictable, but overall the author I'd a fantastic job at pulling you in through the maze. I was so incredibly sad to see Chuck go and shocked that Gally was there at the end! It makes me wonder what'll happen next. :)
book complete...
Whoa! This story is like a juggernaut. You feel what Thomas feels even at points when it's clear what is happening you still are taken in and when you think you have it all figured out they throw a wrench in the mix that makes you wonder who is good who's evil & what happened to their world. The anticipation is killing me, Book two please! I can't wait to see where this goes. It's like Hunger Games, The Lost Boys meets Terminator..

Not even reading past Samme's chapter 5 comment. I'm a little past chpater 5. Maybe chapter 8. The girl just appeared in the box. I knew that was going to happen!
And what the heck is up with Thomas being somewhat familiar with all this craziness?
I'm intrigued...

And what the heck is up with..."Girl! I felt the same way. At one point I had to stop checking the site cause Abby was reading so fast. I love that they added a girl. The all boys club was getting a little old for my taste

Chapter 28
Thomas has just been elected Runner and Alby told them to protect the maps.
This book is like Lord of the Flies meets The Hunger Games meets Mad Max.
Are they in some jail in space? What is going on?!
I'm hooked!

Chapter something (can't remember)
The sun is "gone".
Are they in some artificial world? Kind of like The Truman Show but more deadly and dangerous.
Are they some crazy military experiment?
I have no idea what's going on and I love it!

Chapter 41 (or 42)
The doors didn't close, the grievers got in, and Alby sacrificed himself. This book is so crazy.
Thomas is getting (thisclose) to figuring out the maze. He just asked for wax paper. First time that I get pissed that I couldn't continue reading.
The finale is so close yet I'm still so far. Loving this book!

Honestly, I still don't know what's going on. And I've read the first two chapters of the next book. Yikes!
The upside to books vs. e-books is that sometimes sample chapters are added to the back of the book to get you hooked. I still buy books here & there but this was an e-book for me so I missed out on the perks.
Book 2 in September!!! :)

Chapter 57
Thomas, Teresa, and Chuck just jumped into the Griever Hole. Why do I have to stop reading!?

Crazy!!
Love this story. Can't wait for September 1. :)

I'm excited about Catherine directing Maze Runner. Lords of Dogtown had a grittiness to it that I think would be awesome for Maze Runner. Exciting!
