The Maze Runner (review)

I was pleasantly surprised upon finishing the YA novel, The Maze Runner, that all the reviews I could find were negative. It's a relief becaus I had every intention of writing a scathing review, but now I don't have to -- its a terrible book, but it has a plot that'll try to just motor you thru to the end, to the sequel.

I'm going to watch the movie, cuz that really has nothing to do with the book -- as in, most good books result in disappointing movies because there is so much to live up to. With the Maze Runner, here's hoping the reverse is also true.

But it's so bad.
