notesbynnenna 's review for:

The Maze Runner by James Dashner
2.0

About- A teenager named Thomas wakes up in a strange location with no memory of his past and must fight to make his way back home.

Why I picked it– I know this book is pretty popular and the movie adaptation came out earlier this year.

Thoughts- I was rather disappointed by this one. This is one of those books that did not live up to the hype for me. I thought it was pretty repetitive in the beginning and I didn’t find the main character compelling. I never really felt a connection with the characters, so I wasn’t invested in the story. Maybe I’m getting a little tired of dystopian YA fiction?
