The Maze Runner | 
pickIn the Maze Runner we have Thomas, who finds himself in the Glade with other boys who have been sent there. They have been trying to find a way to get out of the maze but have not yet succeeded. Later we see Thomas go in the maze at night to help his injured friends. Readers of the Divergent series will love this book. Filled with mystery and suspense.This book is told in 3rd person limited POV using pronouns such as he/they/she. Good Book. :)
bailedEntering a book slump after reading The Hunger Games prompted me to try another YA dystopian universe. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed (the book slump continues). Dashner's series lacks any real substance. There are no existential questions to ponder. No political meat. No political statement. No quest for morality. Which left the novel two-dimensional. The slang made the dialogue feel stilted and immature. (1/3).
I AM ON CHAPTER 10, WHERE YOU GUYS AT?
pickThis is a soft pick for me. There were quite a few characters to keep up with. The world was very interesting. And the twist at the end had me a little shocked. I don't know why, because I know there is a second book. But, when people were asking me how I was liking it, I kept saying "Hunger Games was better".

pickMe pareció una trama súper original, además siempre me encantaron los libros de acción. Si te gusta la saga Percy Jackson y el futuro distópico seguramente te va a fascinar este libro. La historia trata sobre Thomas, un pibe que no recuerda quien es y llega a un lugar muy extraño al que llaman el Área, la cual está rodeada por un laberinto… Aunque el final me resultó muy raro, medio que te caga la historia es realmente un libro súper recomendable
pickFound this generally thrilling, quite nerve-wracking at some points to the feeling that (idk if it's just me) I wanna skip through bits to see what happens 😭
pickThe Maze Runner is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world where a group of boys are trapped in the middle of a maze with no memory of their life before the maze. The main character Thomas finds himself in the maze as the newest meme bet of the group. He strives to become a maze runner to find a way out of the maze and to freedom.
so-soThis book tripped me up. It started off boring and flat and about halfway through the book it became action packed and three d so I was starting to feel it. But the ending came and it was extremely abrupt ups and downs that all just molded into nothing. 3⭐️
panThere was a maze and the characters did run around, but I wasn‘t invested in the story. I never connected with any of the characters and the resolution was just a teaser for the next book. I‘m just not curious about why these boys got trapped in the glade with an ever-changing maze.
pickThis book is really good it has a lot of suspense, drama and a little bit of mystery in it. I love James Dashner‘s books they are really well written and this one is probably the best! The characters have a lot of emotion related to them and there back story of how they ended up in the glade. Great book totally recommend if you like action and suspense

“If you ain‘t scared you ain‘t human” I really like this quote because it‘s true, no one isn‘t scared of anything it‘s always something spiders, heights, public speaking etc. so that quote really stood out to me.

pickThe book was about a group of boys who appear to be randomly selected, who are put into a maze with massive stone walls. Their main goal is to escape the maze, however it seems that there is more to the story.
If you like books that are exciting and fantasy, then this book is for you.
The theme of the story would be either loyalty. Throughout the book we see the gladers (boys in the maze) struggle with where their loyalty lies, some even choosing
pickA group of young boys (average age 15), mysteriously appear in a place they call the glade. Each boy has lost their memory completely except for their name. Surrounding the glade are four, giant, stone walls. There are openings in these walls and inside it contains a maze. The main character, Thomas, has something different about him, and after he arrives in the glade, everything starts to change.
pickThe Maze Runner by James Dashner is about a teenage boy named Thomas. Thomas gets sent to a mysterious maze where he has no memory of his past life. Thomas is not the only kid who was sent there. Soon after he arrived he joined the group of all of the kids and became the lead maze runner. Time goes by fighting to get out of the never changing maze and finally, they find a way out.
Scored 2 more books for my personal library. Gotta love FLL!!!!

🐷 It was definitely a miss for me. I don't think it was even a “wrong time“ type of thing either, I just truly didn't enjoy this book. Oh well, you win some you lose some. 🐷 Piggie from Lord of the Flies (I don't really have a favorite dystopian character but... that sounded good) 🐷

🌲 I would say my heart. I love very easiy. What is more human than love? 🌲
Ooo old favorite was BladeRunner. I haven't seen the new one yet, though. I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my standards. 🌲

☀ I work hard? Not really sure how to answer this question. I feel like I do good by trying really hard to do good and then I trust in the right people. ☀

so-soThis one wasn't for me. I don't feel like it wasn't the right time, it really just wasn't the book I enjoyed. I am ugh! About it. I can't find the movie easily accessible yet. I don't think it's on HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime (unless I rent it), or YouTubeTV. But it didn't really seem that great so... I don't know if I want to search for it harder! JuJu is not impressed!

Since I finished my other #AudioCommunte book, I decided to take a crack at #NovelWatchingCrew (#NWC) November book a bit early.... I have to say.. I am not buying in yet. It just has a lot of jargon right now but.. do I care? I am not sure I do. I am about 39% in (so usually past the point I should have DNF'd it) but... because its for a book group I might just continue it.
so-soTo escape the maze the group of teens needs to go down the cliff and that it wouldn‘t actually kill them. Before getting to the cliff they have to fight off some Grievers, killing a few of the Gladers. Eventually they get down the cliff and see the creators of the maze. Gally came with one of the creators and tries to kill Thomas. Chuck steps in front of him getting killed. Thomas goes and beats Gally. Rescuers rush into the building saving the
so-soOne day Thomas wakes up in a metal box with no memory of his past life, as the top of the metal box opens Thomas sees that there are lots of other boys that also don‘t know anything about their past. They all live in a place called “The Glade”, they are surrounded by a maze that has monsters which has the name of grieves that come out at night. A day after Thomas arrives so does a girl, the only girl ever, with a note saying she is the last one.

pickOnce I got into it, I couldn‘t stop. I loved the world building, the kids‘ own slang, their names, the non-stop action. Cant believe I slept on this one for so long. #audiostitching
pickI‘m only going to review them one at a time, but I‘ve finished the series. So far I‘ve only read the main trilogy, but I‘m going to start reading one of the prequels. It‘s about a boy named Thomas, who was sent to a maze, full of guys, that no one has been able to solve. The next day a girl comes, and they solve the maze. It‘s explained to them, by a group name WICKED that they are part of what they call “The Trials”. Wonderfully written, loved it
so-soI can finally say I read it. It was an alright read, not sure if I‘ll continue it because I have other books I‘m much more interested in than this but I‘ve done it and it‘s over.
pickDashner‘s work on his SF, ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults award winning novel will catch the interests of older elementary students. Thomas wakes up and finds himself in a maze with a group of teens who all, including himself, have no memory of their past. He joins them in the task of trying to find a way out of the every changing maze. This book would do well as IR.
pickIt was so different than another stories. Beautiful, adventurous, intristing story that everyone must read.
Story is about teenage kids. They're surviving. And then appears Thomas and everything will change. For me it's one of the best books.
pickSo, I finished ty is book a couple of days ago... and I have been busy finding the next book and I finally found it! I can‘t believe I read the whole book in 2 days while completing my homework and getting good grades! It was an absolutely awesome book and I loved it. 🥺
