The Maze Runner by James Dashner
3.0
I’m not going to lie. I found this book incredibly boring, and I can’t see myself reading it again. I fell asleep every time I tried reading it.
The first five chapters consisted mostly of “my name is thomas” “he looked around confused” and “im gonna be a runner”. Actually, throughout the entire book, the name Thomas seemed to be mentioned at least in every second sentence.
There was a lot of emphasis on Thomas’ relationship with Chuck. But, he didn’t even spend that much time with the boy before he died.
Thomas is the annoying type of main character. I liked Teresa, but she spent about 70% of the book in a coma. Why?
What is with the telepathy thing? Why was no one concerned when Thomas told them?
I don’t like the ending either.
The cover of the book that I have as well, I’m not a huge fan of, simply because of how James Dashner’s name is written. There’s random letter spacing, and it looks as though it reads Jam es Dashn er.

I have read this before. Last time I read it, I loved it. That certainly clouds my judgment.
However, the characters feel nearly real, which is amazing. They have depth which is easily missed in some books. You find yourself loving a character, hating another. The frustration over some characters (america and aspen) is easily recognised.
