After getting to about the fourth chapter, I just couldn't get into this book. It may have been because I was more excited to read a book I just got, but I set The Maze Runner aside. I read a couple books before picking this one back up, but I'm very glad I gave it another shot. Once I started reading, I was immediately sucked in. I found myself wondering if I wanted Thomas to get his memory back or not. Those who had gained back their memory were so devastated by what they remembered of the world that I wasn't sure I wanted Thomas to have to feel such hopelessness too. Knowing this is but the first in a series, I can only hope that these poor kids will finally get peace and happiness as their story continues. Oh please let it end well!
