review 1: Watched the movie and wanted to know what happened next!Well written and entertaining in parts. A little disappointing where certain clues in the beginning don't really mean anything much in the long run. Boring ending though and a little nonsensical regarding the killings. I guess you really have to be in a post-apocalyptic situation to understand the way people would think then and the reasons they would do what they would do. This trilogy is a whole lot of 3D action and not much of deeper meaning. At least now I know how it ends.
review 2: So many people had recommended this series to me as the next big franchise and something I should definitely get my hands on. However, when I looked at the Goodreads page for The Maze Runner I saw ratings of one star, whic... moreh completely put me off - I didn't want to waste my time reading something that people thought was one star! But eventually by coincidence I got my hands on a copy and decided that I might as well read it while I had it.I'm not going to delve into any plot points, because there would be an incredible amount to cover. The idea itself of the trilogy I thought was awesome - for a dystopian novel it's pretty unique although the storyline and plot twists of the first book were all very predictable. In fact, I found that I was riveted only when I got to the second and third book. I read both in two days, and literally could not put them down.I see a lot of criticism saying that there is no character development, it isn't very well written, and a lot of other valid points. The Maze Runner trilogy is not a literary work of art, I'm admitting that now. But that doesn't mean it does not keep you entertained. The whole trilogy is set within a month or two at most, and I felt that pressure for time as I was reading; it felt a lot like being on an average rollercoaster - even though it wasn't the best one I've been on, I still had a great time doing it. My final recommendation if you've gotten this far is that you should read the whole trilogy (I haven't gotten around to The Kill Order yet, so I'll review that separately). Don't go in there expecting The Hunger Games or Divergent, go into it expecting three books of non-stop action and adventure, and just enjoy it for what it is. less
