Wow! This book had me hooked right from the first page! It had so mnay twists and turns and unsolved mysteries that kept me completely engrossed until the very end. I also loved the banter and wit between all the characters. Very enjoyable book and I am excited to start the second one!

When I first heard about this book , it didn't really interest me at all but then something sparked this morning and I thought, alright I'll give it a whirl and to my suprisement I actually enjoyed it alot. It was a great read and I think since I've been on a tad bit of a dystopian buzz , it made me enjoy it more. This is one dystopian novels that those of the male sex will really really enjoy as the whole line-up are teenage guys except for one girl who shows up about halfway through the novel. ...more

I wasn't sure what exactly to expect with The Maze Runner, but what I got was an exciting read that proved hard to put down. When I started the book, I had as many questions as the book's main character, Thomas, since he didn't know more than I did. I really liked how Dashner set it up so that Thomas and the reader got their answers at the same time. Dashner also does a great job at developing not just his main character but some of the secondary characters as well really adding to the story and ...more

I definitely enjoyed this book. A great first novel that makes you want to continue reading the series. The Maze Runner is fast paced and there is a TON of action. There is a new twist at the end of every chapter.

Thomas is an excellent main character. He is smart and brave. His humanity and his selfless actions are exactly what I hope I would be capable of in that situation. My other favorite chacters were Teresa (the only girl in a world full of boys), Chuck, Minho, and Newt. Their faith in Tho ...more

So it was very addicting and fast paced. I'm just not always a dystopian fan fan, because they never end well. And I can just feel the dreary ending looming already for this book. So I won't get too excited.

Favorite character, though, most certainly was Newt. Great character. And of course Thomas. ...more

This book was actually pretty intense for those kids. I sort of suck at visualizing things, but I think this is going to make an awesome movie. Oh the random, made up words were kind of annoying.
