About this listen

When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze.

Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.

I really enjoyed the whole Maze Runner series. The first book was a little slow to get going but once in, I was hooked.

Enjoyable

It was very good,the narration was great and the storyline was great. At the start it was slow but after an hour it gets really gripping!!!

SO good but slow at the start

Story is fabulous, can't wait for the second book! But it is spoilt by the narrator. Intonation is all wrong and just really grates. Have to stick with it though in order to listen to the remaining books. After these books I certainly won't download anything else read by them though.

Great story, bad narrator

Really enjoyed the story so far. characterisation was enjoyable, but the accent for Newt was a little annoying. Getting passed that I would definitely recommend.

Very engaging

I finished the book
and I did enjoy it
but certain parts felt not fleshed out enough and thing kind of seemed to rush to a finale without really explaining how to get there.
it's a book that you'll enjoy but might find hard to finish and hard to get back to.
I'm not sure if I'll get the other books in the trilogy. it's a 3 because it's what I would say an average experience, I'm not sure if I was expecting more from it though.

tough one to call
