The Maze Runner was fast-paced and brilliantly plotted. The plotline itself is what kept me reading, even when the writing style itself got in the way. It was not the most well-written book I've ever read (meaning that Dashner's writing was occasionally noticeable in a way that distracted the reader from getting totally absorbed into the world he creates), but the plotline made up for these occasional slips. If it were not for these few, annoying instances I would definitely give the book a 5/5 rating. Dashner does a good job of creating a unique and imaginative sub-culture for his characters, complete with their own social morays and creative lingo. Unlike some authors' attempts at this, Dasher's sub-culture does not come off as forced or cliche. This adds strength to the plot and to the characterization, and aided me as I attempted to ignore less well-written sections. Over all, a good book. I would recommend it to anyone and will be reading the sequels.Read full review
I just read "The Maze Runner", by James Dashner and absolutely loved the book. It was slow to get into, but once I got hooked, I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to any middle school age child. Adults will love it too! There are some cool resources for the book on the web and it is beginning to get quite a following! Visit: www.teacherspayteachers.com For lesson plan ideas, resources, etc. It is a very rich resource from teachers that parents and teachers alike can use either in school or at home! Check it out!
This book is amazing! An absolute must read for anyone interested in mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, danger, thrill, and so much more! My friend read The Maze Runner and loved it, so she suggest I read it, and I am so glad I did! I loved it so much that I had to have my own copy!!
This is an excellent book that has an incredible story line...cant wait to read the second book, I think they should make a movie trilogy based on these books.
Good movie
