The premise is good but Dashner just doesn't come through. The writing is flat and derivative (the opening scene is a complete rip-off from Murakami's Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World) and the characters are one-dimensional. There is a lot of weak and lazy writing. The long tease is never really satisfied and the actual resolution is bogus. If the key clue was going to be given to the boys in the maze, why wouldn't they get it from the outset, 2 years before the events in the book? I have lots of other problems, but they would involve spoilers, so I'll leave it there. Well, I didn’t hate it as much as anna, but it certainly doesn’t deserve a rave review.

I literally was upset I spend my time reading it. It's some of the worst writing I have ever read, the only reason I kept reading it is because the author drags out the simplest parts and give no details until the very end. And even then they don't make sense. I absolutely hated this book with a passion. I literally was upset I spend my time reading it.

I especially liked your comment about "Lost" - I too felt that I was trying really hard to figure things out but got enough little answers that I don't thinkg Dashner will leave me hangin' . :) I really enjoyed your review and included a link to this post in my own Maze Runner review.
