The Maze Runner (Maze Runner Series #1)

The Maze Runner - James Dashner Entertaining-turned-frustrating-turned-meh.Bonus points for racial diversity, minus points for gender uniformity (for which there was no real reason as far as I can tell) and a terrible case of all-tell-and-no-show narration (drinking game idea: take a shot each time the text informs us that Thomas is shocked. really shocked). Most frustratingly, the suspense was forcibly dragged out by means of arbitrarily/unreasonably delayed answers until I was way beyond caring; perhaps it's a good thing because the (few) explanations we did get turned out to be predictable, and accompanied by a whole lot of handwaving.On a brighter note: in a shocking twist, it looks like neither Alby nor Minho will be whitewashed in the movie adaptation.
