Reading this was totally different than reading [b:Twilight|41865|Twilight (Twilight, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275613536s/41865.jpg|3212258]. The writing style was different, since it's in Edward's perspective. I just thought it was super interesting to see everything through his eyes. Reading this book made me wish that I hadn't read the others just so I could keep reading not knowing what would happen next.

If you love any kind of dystopian novel, you'd love this one. The author has an amazing way of pulling you into the story and keeping you there. I loved how at almost every end of a chapter there was a 'WTF' sentence that made you need to read the next one, and the next one, etc. A very intense read, even though it seemed bad language was censored by words made up by the author, there were still gory details that made it an intense read. I didn't give it five stars because unfortunately I'm now always comparing dystopian novels to [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1293504845s/2767052.jpg|2792775]. I have high hopes for [b:The Scorch Trials|7631105|The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2)|James Dashner|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1280164815s/7631105.jpg|6574198] and can't wait to read it therefore I am reading it next!
You never really expect the second book in a trilogy to be better than the first. At least I don't. And in this case, I was wrong. I really, really liked [b:The Maze Runner|6186357|The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)|James Dashner|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51nsLLtEfdL._SL75_.jpg|6366642], but I can honestly say I absolutely loved [b:The Scorch Trials|7631105|The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2)|James Dashner|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1280164815s/7631105.jpg|6574198]. The difference for me was that in the second book you really start to understand what's going on on a more global scale. In a way, the first book couldn't be better than the second because it was really just leading up to everything that happens next. Kind of like an introduction. So many twists and turns and unexpected things happen it's just impossible not to get hooked on this one. A very imaginative plot and wonderfully creative writing that is just a joy to read.
The only problem I'm having is that I have to wait until October for [b:The Death Cure|7864437|The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3)|James Dashner|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|11022464]!
Reading this book really made me wish that I had looked into the Russian Revolution before I had started it. Instead I did all that after. I checked
this link out after I read the book, and understood everything a whole lot better. A great way for people who have little to no interest in history to learn about an intense revolution without becoming bored to death and reversibly quite entertained in the process.
From what other people had written in their reviews, I was prepared for disappointing novel when compared to its previous two. Never could I have been so wrong. This one may have even been my favourite of the three. Sure, it was very, very different from the others, but it definitely didn't disappoint. After the first book, I never thought it would get this intense and in depth with the whole Capital/Rebellion thing. At times it was a little difficult to follow, but as I read on everything would eventually clarify. Don't read this book too fast: You don't want to miss anything.
I absolutely devoured this book. Sequel to the Hunger Games, and second to the trilogy. The first one floored me and this one is just a seamless continuation. Katniss knows everything and nothing at the same time, which basically means that you the reader knows nothing and everything as well. Confusing and moving.
Amazing! Original. Compelling. Upsetting. Tragic. All the things that makes me want to read a book and it had them all. Now I get what all the hype was about this book. A big reason why I enjoy books is the characters and their personalities and actions. The characters in this book were interesting and all had their own intense, crazy things going on in their heads. Who wouldn't in that kind of environment?
So many lovely quotes as well. That always helps. This seems like the kind of book that I will more than likely reread sometime in the future.
What an interesting concept for a book! An invention that allows people to live forever. It's scary because I could totally see this happening in our future. When I started reading this book I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but the more I read on, the more I liked it. One part that really helped make it a five-star book was the fact that it wasn't all in one person's point-of-view. Instead, it showed a handful of people's perspectives which was very interesting since everyone thinks so differently about the situations at hand. A wonderful addition to the Young-Adult Dystopian genre. There are two more books in the series, and I'm not sure what the second could be about but nonetheless I am excited!
This story got pretty graphic, but I found it did a good job at explaining how some people do the unimaginably horrible things that they do. It's the kind of story that has holes at first but you learn more and more about an event as you read the book. I honestly thought that there would be something shocking to be discovered at the end, but there wasn't (hence 3 stars). I'd recommend this to any teen into these kinds of books (teenage issues/trauma).
