★★★★—The Maze Runner by James Dashner

"If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

Remember. Survive. Run." (Goodreads)

My Review:

★★★★

FINALLY finished this book. I didn't stop reading because I wasn't interested, but because of lack of time and lack of book to hold in my hands. I'd taken it out of the library, then had to return it over winter break. Shit happens, I guess.

The book was enjoyable. And Dashner ended it just right, so I'm emotionally invested and wanting to read The Scorch Trials.

Welp. That one goes on the queue. The 60-book-long queue. Essay first. Then Blood of Olympus. Then The Young Elites. Then some other things. Then MAYBE I'll find a copy and find the time to read it.

Damn it, Dashner. You and Allie Condie both ended your books where I was emotionally invested and curious. You assholes.

Just kidding. You're awesome.
