Customer Reviews

Good teen read that adults will also enjoy.

I liked it, my kids liked it. A good story even if you saw the movies.

Not as good as the first book, but a fun read

I love the whole series! This one really brings us into the world that they live in and at some points it's down right terrifying. I love all of the little details ajd the new characters are just as well written and loveable as the original gladers. I love all the little twists and problems that the characters run into and it had me rooting for somebody the whole book.

Great sequel

Great second book to maze runner. I love all the twists and turns and how it makes you question everything. Great job on not just repeating the first book but actually expanding the world and story.

Not a fan.

Not a fan. I ordered it as a gift. I'm really just leaving a rating so I won't get recommended more from this series or author.

Read It!!!!!!
