I went into this book very excited to read it. I'm a big fan of dystopian worlds and this book seemed right up my alley. Right away it was hard for me to get into the story. It was slow moving and it was difficult to get on board with the made-up slang ("shuck-face," etc). I know the characters in this book have (view spoiler)[lost all memory besides their names (hide spoiler)] but they still had a grasp on the English language so I'm not sure the whole reason for the slang. Maybe to be able to add cursing without really cursing? Regardless, it wasn't my favorite. I am also not a fan of characters saying "Don't worry, you don't know me or anything about where we are and I have all of the information you need, but I'm not going to tell you now. Just follow me and trust me and I'll tell you later. Later, I said!!!!" which is what pretty much every character said the second Thomas got to The Glade. Finally when it comes to the big plot twist of how they got to the maze, I felt like it was very underwhelming. I was kind of like "Oh, well of course that would happen." It just didn't shock or surprise me.
