Review: The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Actually it's more like 3.5

I enjoyed Maze Runner, but I'm not sure how I actually feel about the whole story. It is very well written and it definitely has the power of drawing a person in, but I don't think I actually felt invested with the narrator Thomas. Rather my interest lay in other characters such as Minho, Newt, and Frypan, even Alby and Chuck. As much as I wanted to feel some kind of connection, I just didn't. It was simply a different story. A new world to explore. I feel rather lackluster about it. Not that I wouldn't recommend it to people who like The Hunger Games and such, this book definitely fits in that category, but like the Hunger Games, I simply didn't feel anything.

I was really ready to give this book a really good review and to promote it to anyone and everyone around me, but I can't really do that. Not when it was just another story. Something that didn't make me feel anything at all.
