Still a gripping story poorly written. The first part actually seems taken from the script of an horror movie while the second part quickly unravels and becomes less and less plausible with all this talking about trust and the double/triple/quadruple cross. And what is it with this irritating habit Thomas has of spilling the beans about his story to everyone he meets, friend, foe and whatever in between? 
 I found the telepathy thing a ridiculous way out to a blocking situation in the first book and I find it even more ridiculous here and I really hope the third book will provide some good explanation because, if the maze had the charm of an unsolvable enigma, all the ordeals suffered in this book seem as pointless to me as to the poor Gladers.
