 This book. THIS BOOK. 
 It was a little hard to get into, but eventually, you'll never want to stop reading. There's constant action and so many unanswered questions and you'll probably be confused all the time, which can be annoying at times. 
 The whole idea of The Maze Runner is just... SO CLEVER. There are creepy monsters called Grievers, a mysterious enemy, codes, questions, mystery, a male protagonist (which is always refreshing!), and lots and lots of action. What else do you want?! A dystopian adventure story that is enjoyable for both guys and girls. 
 Why were the boys put in the Maze in the first place? Who are the creators? Why just boys? What's so special about Thomas? Is there an escape? Those are just some of the questions you will be asking yourself while reading the book. You don't get an answer to all of them, but that's why you need to read the whole series. Mr. Dashner was very smart for doing that--now we HAVE to buy all his books. 
 There wasn't a single character I didn't like. I really liked Thomas, unlike a lot of other people who have read the book. And the other characters all had enough depth and personality, like the mysterious new girl, and the other Gladers. 
 Their slang words the Gladers came up with annoyed me a little bit. It was not something that will make you want to strangle the characters or whatever, but they use words like 'klunk, shank, shuck' all the time. I guess that's just something you have to get used to, just like the writing style in The Knife of Never Letting Go. 
 It's an understatement to say that I'm glad I read this. I'm like, Really Fucking Super Glad I read this. It absolutely lives up to the hype.
