The Maze Runner by James Dashner
3.0

A solid 3 stars. Definitely not on the same level as Hunger Games or Divergent.

Dashner did a great job with the world building - I could picture the maze and the walls and the glade, but that's about it. The characters fell flat for me. Thomas was always on the verge of remembering something, or had a tinkling or feeling about something. About halfway through you could somewhat figure out what was going to happen, and I mean come on, it's a trilogy - so you know who isn't going to die. The ending was okay, again, something I could have predicted. These books try so hard to have a good cliffhanger for the next book. How about ya'll just write one big book and separate it into parts?

Defos not going to bother with the second book. Sorry Dashner.
