"The Maze Runner (The Maze Runner #1)" by James DashnerRating: ♦ ♦ ♦
4 stars for plot, 2 stars for execution.
The plot itself was really great, just like the setting. The boys in the middle of the maze, the maze itself, the idea behind the maze, the mystery of Thomas... excellent. But the execution...
The characters' mood swings were giving me a whiplash. Up and down, all the time. I mean, I get that they were teenagers, their reactions didn't ring true at times, though, especially Thomas', the writing felt... inconsistent.
Also, I think that this is one of the stories that will look better on-screen. Especially the grievers, I hope they make them really terrifying. Cannot wait to see it in the cinema in September 2014 (hopefully, they will actually show it here!)
