I really like this book. In the beginning I wasn't sure if I liked it, but after a few chapters I started to like the book. It is written from Thomas perspective and because of this you know just as less as he does and that makes that you want to know what is going on and so you go on reading. In the beginning I didn't like the other characters much,but when the book went on and Thomas started to like Newt en Minho and we learned more about them, I started to like them and now I am a fan of them. I can't wait to read the second book and find out what is going to happen to them next.

This book was not the worst book I ever read, but not the best. I don't think I'm gonna read the next book.

This was an excellent book. I really liked it. The story was really good, and had interesting characters who i actually liked. i mean to like a book doesnt mean you have to necessarily like the characters, but it sure makes it a lot easier to read.

Thomas and Minho were my favorites because of their determination of leaving the wretched maze and how they still mourned the death of those helped them escape.

i loved the whole idea of a place that kids were sent to without any guidance or help from adults. this reminds me of the book GONE by Micheal Grant. the writing style, key aspects , and intricate plot kept me interested, although i do think the beginning was a little slow.

Detail yang ditulis di novel ini menakjubkan. Meski menggunakan bahasa Inggris, somehow saya berhasil menangkap ceritanya walau tidak setiap kata saya paham artinya apa. Saya suka interaksi antar karakternya di sini, menyenangkan untuk dibaca.

Sayangnya karena saya sudah lebih dulu nonton filmnya, jadilah bayangan saya tidak bisa lepas dari film saat membaca ini. Tapi saya sangat suka bagian penyusunan peta yang sampai membutuhkan bantuan banyak orang--menunjukkan bahwa keluar dari Glade memang tidak mudah, tidak seperti di film. Benar memang don't judge a book by it's movie.

Secara umum saya menikmati bacaan ini. Tapi saya heran, kenapa setiap kali baca ini saya ngantuk melulu? Untuk karakter, saya paling suka Newt karena pemain di filmnya (...) dangkal sekali ya, haha. Ah, tapi secara umum buku ini memang keren, kok!

Silliness. Another dystopian YA book, all about boys dropped into the middle of the maze and force to fight there way out, with the maze being inhabited by slimy monsters. Not much more to say about it. It will a movie soon.

Absolutely loved it! This book was so much better than the movie as is always the case. I really enjoyed the mystery of it and learning things as the characters learnt them because the it was far from predictable. Highly recommend reading and i cannot wait to read the rest of the series!
