The Maze Runner by James Dashner
3.0
I tried reading this months ago when the movie came out. For whatever reason I just couldn't get into it. Then, I watched the movie for some sort of inspiration to spark to make me want to try it again. ...
I have to be honest, this book was super painful to get through the first 150-200 pages. I think I would have really liked this written from first POV.. which I believe was part of the issue I had. Since I watched the movie first, in the back of my mind I was comparing the book to the movie and it killed me being able to pay attention to details. Once I got past a certain point I was able to get into the book because I realized the movie was fairly different from the book. I will probably still read the other books, but definitely before I see the movies.
