I truly wish the audiobook had not been narrated by an adult. It wasn't at all like the inner voice of a teenager. 
 And now, as far as the book is concerned, it is exactly what I expected it to be. Repetitive, dumbed down, and yet I can't seem to leave the series like this. There's enough of a mystery that I will likely finish the third book. I don't this James Dashner's writing will ever be for me though. It feels immature; it is as if it were written for a middle grade reader, with very simple language and shallow descriptions, but there are some very mature scenes. Death, decapitation, cannibalism, electrocution, but, hey, at least there aren't any swears.
