I started reading this book simply because the title caught my attention. I wasn't going in comparing it to every other book. And I must say I rate this book a 4.5 - I absolutely loved the story! There were parts that just freaked me out and had me constantly guessing what was going to happen next. I also loved the girl - she wasn't some sleaze ball who slept with him twenty pages later and the whole story wasn't filled with some cheesy romance that's force fed to it's readers.
Cons - the writing style I felt like he could've tightened it up - reading the last part felt like I was reading a summery that was written by a 2nd grader. Also, while there were parts that I did not expect - at times it felt like he gave his story the easy way out or the situations made things to coincidental..
Overall I liked it and I would recommend it. Though if you're a twilight fan this might not be the book for you, no sparkling puppy sick love story here! Can't wait to continue the series!

Sort of reminded me of [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (The Ender Quintet, #1)|Orson Scott Card|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408303130s/375802.jpg|2422333] without being anything like Ender's Game. A group of super smart kids stuck in a training program -esque environment where they are continually tested... Except it's not obvious that all of them are super smart or how they were chosen or what really happened.

me atrapó desde la primer página donde no solo nos introducen a los lectores a un nuevo mundo sino al propio protagonista. esto te hace sentir parte porque todo lo que no entendemos nosotros tampoco lo entiende él, y se hace muy dinámico ir comprendiendo como funciona esta civilización que formaron y el Área donde viven. hasta un poco mas de la mitad del libro venia con un muy buen ritmo y era super intrigante como revelaban datos de a poco, pero la verdad después de la pagina 220 aproximadamente me aburrí bastante, los giros argumentales no me volaron la cabeza y muchos capitulos me parecieron simplemente meh. el final estuvo bien pero no me fascinó y no me gustaron demasiado las últimas páginas.

My book review of The Maze Runner by James Dashner. 3 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
“It’s kind of hard to ask a dead guy what he did wrong.”
So the first 100 pages were brutal. I had known what the main character went through, and now he’s forgotten everything and managed to get himself trouble, and yet, he wants to continue with the trouble. I’m having a hard time deciding whether it was a good idea to put myself through the first two series of the prequel novels before I read this one, or not. I was mad because of what the MC had gone through and it pissed him off because his adventure is not over yet.
“You get lazy, you get sad. Start givin’ up. Plain and simple.”
I feel for this guy. He’s just a freaking kid, now forced to go through all this because he’s some smarty pants. I’m hoping the last novel that ties everything together will be great.
