The Maze Runner
Have you ever wondered what songs would fit the book?. Check out this link. The Maze Runner book playlist
Throughout the book I kept comparing it to the movie because I saw it first (normally read the book before I see the movie) but in this case I didn't. I have to say I wish I had read it before seeing the movie. The book kept me on my toes because there were changes I didn't see coming. I found that I couldn't put the book down when I first started it which I loved , the book was exciting and I really enjoyed the dialogue between the characters especially the hints that Thomas and Theresa were more than friends before arriving to the glade. I can't wait to read the scorch trials!. Fans of this
Series refer to themselves as Gladers or Runners. They understand the language the characters use in the books. The book uses words like shank, crank, newbie , greenie to describe various actions or people. I think this fandom is really cool because you don't really hear that type of language these days and it's fun to interact with people who you find out are invloved in that fandom as well as freak out over the casting choices for the movie as well as the things that the director changed in the movie or left out. Overall I think The Maze Runner was really good and people who did not like it should try reading it again.
I would definitely recommend this book to someone who has read Enders Game,The Hunger Games trilogy ,Divergent, Cinder and Delirum.

ReplyDeleteOne of my grade 10 students read this book last year for a project and she presented about it. It sounded pretty interesting.
I love a page turner too!
