Reviewer- Stephanie
This was an okay book. I loved the story line but I felt that everything as very rushed at the end and the first few chapters were extremely slow. Also, a lot of this story seemed to be very confusing and/or unnecessary. I really didn't like the ending at all. I felt that Dashner should have ended the first book sooner leaving some suspense. Due to that ending the storyline felt very rushed at the end and made everything seemed uninteresting. It also seems that Dashner was rushing the ending instead of beginning the second book at the end of chapter 59. Overall it was a decent book but it did have its flaws in the beginning and the end and I would not suggest reading it unless you have plenty of time on your hands. I also believe that the author should've used a different point of view and see if third person and writing this story in first person would've made this story so much better.
