James Dashner, you klunk got me again! I've been shunked & gone to heaven! This second book is as gripping as the first, even more. I was left dumbfounded with more questions than ever.

It is written in a way that, like the lead characters, it made me question things about the maze and even had me guessing what the codes are for. It is fast paced,thrilling & oh so gruesome. DARK...as what all other dystopian/utopian themed novels I've read. Less of the romanticism found in the hunger games though (yep, i am a girl after all). The epilogue...hmmmm,curiouser,curiouser....I definitely can't wait to read book two!I can't help comparing this to Hunger Games. I liked how the story kept me engaged, can't put it down.
