These books are aMAZEing. You need to read them. They are totally WICKED ;)
Rating: 4 starsThis series is amazing!The first 2 books are just perfect. But I'm giving this series a 4 stars rating, be ause I didn't really like The Death Cure and The Kill Order. I don't know why exactly, but those took me a while to finish it, it didn't really have an impact for me. I don't know how to say it differently, it just didn't.
Why do I like The Maze Runner so much???My favorite thing about this series is one word.. TERESA. I love her! She was there in every book but.. I don't know... It should've been her not Brenda... I hate Brenda..... (Does that seem childish?) ... Anyway, the story was more interesting this way. It's one of the Best series I've EVER READ!!!!There's also something interesting about this series that if you either start reading the maze runner, the kill order or even the fever code (then one after on...
A no-fuss, ripping, unpretentious young adult dystopian yarn. Less sophisticated than the Hunger Games, it still delivers, and Dashner is very good at combining suspense, angst and adventure.
When I finished this series, I had one thought: finally. (As in, yay, I'm finally done.) I literally do not understand at all why this series is so popular. For one thing, it is so badly and lazily written. The writing is filled with clichés. Oh, and speaking of the word "filled" ... that is one of Dashner's favorite words in the entire world. I cannot tell you the amount of times something "filled the air" or "filled Thomas's mind." And "filled" is not the only word that is FAR overused in this...
The Maze Runner doesn't match competitors in the genre like The Hunger Games and Divergence, but it isn't terrible either. It is really rather more of the same - though the concept is compelling, the author fails to fully deliver and you end up with a watered down version of a Westerfeld novel (no one can touch the brilliance of Uglies so I'd rather they stop trying).There are a few traps Dashner is guilty of here that I wish authors would stop falling for. First, the main character is rather wh...
I loved all 4 books. I couldn't wait to get the kids down for nap or bed and have that "me time" spent reading these books! Very well written; easy to read and, refreshingly, no curse words (although they had their own they'd made up).
Most low reviews I read expressed disappointment, let down expecting a similarity with other near-future teen-lit (Hunger Games, Divergent). I ignored those reviews. Having not read these other books and seeking a fast paced mindless weekend read I felt confident disappointment would not be my fate. I pen this rare review to save the next unsuspecting reader. This author has lazing writing habits. Something that can be forgiven if the plot is fast paced and well developed. It was not. Lazy writi...
the death cure was the best book for me
This book passed it predecessor by far!The second book in the maze runner series meet my expectation and over! The book takes place right where the last book took place which I loved. This book set the gladers up with an amazing trial full of dangers, secrets, suspense and betrayal. What I loved about thee book is that there was so much more action in this book then in the last one and that's something that I really liked. Also the plot I feel was much better then the first book because the writ...
I have many contradictory opinions about this series but these are the highlights without giving any of the plot away.- The 1st book in the series is a bit slow. The author tries to make it mysterious but really he just drags things out too much. I am happy to report that I just watched the movie and they fixed a lot of the problems the 1st book had like the slow pace and the author’s tendency to make things overly complex. - I also was never fully satisfied for the reasoning behind the Maze. Th...
Disclaimer..... I'm 35I understand this is for junior high kids, but I thought it was weak. I wish my phone had no service when I was at Costco and scanned the box set into my goodreads app. 4.3 rating with comparisons to Hunger Games, I was sold. I can deal with high, unfair expectations, but this just didn't do much for me. It dragged on. It's almost as if the author wanted to prolong each book to make a series. "What does this mean? I can't tell you now. Why not? I just can't, you'll figure i...
I can't help but notice the many parallels the series has with The Hunger Games. Thomas reads like a male Katniss Everdeen:1. Protagonist is a teenager who has lost a parent2. Story is set in a dystopic world and even mentions a location that both series share3. Protagonist is thrown into many life and death situations along with people his age4. Protagonist has both witnessed and committed acts which would scar any person for life5. Protagonist becomes a symbol of rebellion and fights against a...
It took me most of book #1 for me to decide if I even liked this book series. It's not terrible but I've definitely read better stuff. I like to complete a series no matter what because I always like to know where the author takes the story. This particular author seemed to have trouble with the direction things were going, I spent most of book #3 wondering how there was even going to be an ending. And then of course once I got there I wasn't impressed. It wasn't a terrible ending but it wasn't
Yet another trilogy in the style of The Hunger Games and Divergent. It has been advertised as such and I would agree. The complete series also includes a prequel which I think worked well in explaining the origins of the world the Maze Runner is set in. The story is stranger (for lack of a better word) and the premise not as strong as The Hunger Games and Divergent but the trilogy as a whole is much stronger, and does not taper out in the later books as the other trilogies did. It was a much mor...
This book was amazing. Once u finish the maze runner you will be begging your mom to get you the next book in the series. This book was rich in good themes and ideas. Not only that but rich in good characters and the author did a good job in making the setting. *spoilers* chuck dies and so does Alby
The Maze Runner series is amazing and full of emotions. I really enjoyed every part of it. I'm thanking James Dashner for this amazing story and loveable characters. Newt will be always in my heart <3
The Maze Runner series By James Dashner is very hard to follow at times because it begins in the middle finishes and then goes back to the beginning. In a dystopian society where sun flares destroyed the world and then a deadly virus came and wiped out all but a small sample of immune children. WCKD takes the children and puts them in trials to try and find a cure. It turns out that there is no cure so the children rebel and are taken through more tests. In the end, they do find a small paradise...
I loved these books! But I would like to encourage you to read the books and watch the films since they have changed lots of details and in the 3rd movie the whole think was different. So, read the books first.I honestly found the characters really relatable and I kept wondering what I would do. Although I loved the first 4 books I just couldn't read the 5th book. Since, my beloved, Newt died. I didn't have the strength to read about his childhood which was in the 5th book. To sum up, the books
This book was interesting, but it felt like you were inside a Michael Bay movie, to much action explosions and dead of inconsequential characters, and yes consequential characters also die, this is a collections of 4 books and the last one is the best one, the most coherent in itself, but darker, and sadder in a collection of books already dark and sad.The problem with the books is that the history at least in the first three makes no sense you ask the same thing through all the history, Why? an...
