Hey guys,
Over the weekend I got into The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I spent the weekend at my grandparents house, so it meant a lot of reading! I ended up finishing it in two days. For anyone who hasn't read it, I will not give away important details of the book. The quality of the writing was superb, with its own eccentric twists and words. James Dashner did not waste any time on huge vocab words, but used words most teenagers would use, which helped add to the mood, because it is set all around a bunch of teenagers locked inside a maze. He expertly mixes terror, mystery, and action into a masterpiece of writing, always keeping me turning the pages. His craft is also unique: he throws the reader for twists, and shows just how unusual Thomas is to the Gladers. The whole book builds, keeping you hooked, and once you get to the end you want more. In short, it's exactly what every avid reader wants. Hope you're interested enough to give it a read!
P.S. I found a link to a sample of The Maze Runner. Happy reading!:) https://www.barnesandnoble.com/signin/popup
Did the movie come out yet, or is that coming out this month?
ReplyDeleteDival it has already come out, on Sept. 19 of this year. I googled it
DeleteSounds like a book that I may enjoy! Nothing's more refreshing than a bunch of teenagers with amnesia trapped in a deadly maze! But seriously though, it sounds like a good book filled with plenty of action that gets the heart pumping. The real question, though, is whether it is funny or not.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as an answer to Dival B, I believe the movie is already out.
I saw the movie but haven't read the book yet. Have you seen the movie? How does it compare to the book?
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually seen the movie, I wanted to wait until after i finished the book. The trailers look pretty good though.
DeleteI haven't even started reading the book. But, I'm thinking about reading it soon, if I can get my hands on the book. I'm assuming it is like a mix between the Hunger Games and the Percy Jackson series, except with a different plot. But, judging by how I tend to react to movies that barely follow the plot of the book, I may or may not try to see the movie before I actually begin reading the book. Once you watch the movie and read the book, you should write a review about your thoughts!
