Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Join Sadie, Emily and myself reading the first book in maze runner series.

yay! Thank you I've been wanting to read this before I watch the movie. The trailer looks good.

Me too! Can't wait!

I know, I honestly do not know how I have managed to not read this yet.

Help check the thread title beforehand in case it's not following the guidelines:


Your original title: Maze Runner (Maze Runner #1) by james dashner→Start Date September 23rd 2014

Correct title: Maze Runner (Maze Runner #1) by James Dashner → Start Date: September 23rd, 2014

Sorry, I thought it was correct, I had another tab open so I could follow it. Sorry..

No problem. To make it easier for you, next time, just copy from one thread and edit the title, author and date.

I was doing a lot of them, so I had a tab open, I think I probably thought I remembered how to do it after a few and stopped referring to the tab. I will know not to do that next time. :)

Well, being even nit-pickier, it's actually even "THE Maze Runner" lol

haha oops sorry lol

I read it one month ago and I loved it!
Hope you enjoy it! :)

Just finished chapter four it's okay but not great so far (view spoiler)[ the language being used is annoying, I hope it doesn't keep getting used so much. Other than that I am looking forward to seeing what happens. :) (hide spoiler)]

Just finished chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Those Grievers sound horrible, are they an incentive to make the boys go back to base each night? I want to know more about the maze. (hide spoiler)]

Just finished chapter 12, really beginning to enjoy it (view spoiler)[ so much to find out, Not sure I like all the attitudes, they seem a little harsh. Also the slang, seems like it's just a way for the author to swear without swearing. (hide spoiler)]

I've read the first couple chapters so far. Hard to really know what's going on yet. (view spoiler)[The maze is shrouded in mystery, and the slang is like reading a foreign language. I'm intrigued though! (hide spoiler)]

I'll need to read more before everything really makes sense I'm sure.

I'm still on chapter one. I'm finding it hard to get into with all the lingo they have.

It gets better, I thought that too for the first few chapters.

Anyone gotten any farther in this one? Looks like we're all reading more slowly on this one :)

No I got to chapter 12 and decided to wait for people and catch up with other books :) How are you getting on with it?

I think I read about four pages and now I can't find it anywhere. Figure I'll get back to it when I come across it again. :)

Okay, let us know what you think when you've read some more :) Hope you find it.
I do that sort of thing all the time, put it soemwhere safe and can never find it again

How is everyone getting on with this?

I'm gonna catch up today! I've been trying to catch up on all my buddy reads lately, but there aren't enough hours in the day lol

I know the feeling, I am going away in a few days so trying to finish as many as I can.

It's finally getting really interesting to me! I'm at chapter 53. (view spoiler)[They've realized they have to go into the Griever hole, and I can't wait :) I'm still curious about Thomas and Teresa's telepathy. I wonder how the creators managed that one. Surgery? An external manipulation of their brilliance? Hmm... (hide spoiler)]

I enjoyed the last bit of the book the most. That's when the action really started happening! I'm certainly curious enough to continue on with this series.

Hi ladies, is it okay if Lucy and I join your buddy read for this book? It would be nice to have extra people to read this with.

of course, I am only 100 pages in, Let us know what you think :)

Thanks :)

How is everyone getting on with this?

I'm sorry ive not had much time to read much so I've also joined a buddy read starting it soon if thats okay. I have very much enjoyed what I've read so far though :) what about you?

Ye it's fine, not gotten much farther, might just plow ahead in the next few days. :)

Is anyone else still reading this?

I just finished chapter 10 :) not very far I know but I am enjoying it

think I'm only at chap 12 I stopped to let people catch up. just making sure I'm not the only one still reading

Well what do you think so far?
