delphic's review against another edition
too unnecessarily graphic, was interested in the main idea for the book but found the the burnt body of a toddler, a girl lying on the road as her limbs turn gangrenous, the mention of babies dying and the description of binge eating all a bit too much especially so early on and close together

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
oh, this one was really not for me. i can see the appeal with fans of the maze runner series, which also was not really my cup of tea. i don't think that the characters and the world was really flushed out to the extent that it could have within the first book and this just kept me really bored. there were many characters to keep track of and they did not feel like they were all under the age of fifteen. i'll read the next installment only because i, once again, bought it full price and i can't let that money just go to waste if i don't read that. i sure hope that i will have some kind of interest in the following book lol.

This book is exceptionally readable. Reading it feels like watching Heroes or Misfits and I loved both of those shows.
