Reflection

I loved the series although the first book was kind of slow, but I think it was explaining and setting up for the second book that was by far my favourite of all the books. The Maze Runner had lots of plot twists and always kept me guessing. I got very emotionally attached to the characters and I was very sad with the way the series ended. I would recommend the series to people who like fictional books and enjoy active reading and enjoy reading series. The Maze Runner is a combination of Lord Of The Flies and The Hunger Games. I give this book a 10/10.
