James Dashner's "Maze Runner" Series - Any good?

[The Bluestocking]

I know the movie adaptation is coming up and I usually like to read the original book AHEAD of watching the movie and lo and behold - my local bookshop is having a special discount on the "Maze Runner" series.

The question is: Is it any good or is it just another run-of-the-mill YA dystopian series?

I loved them, and my sister did as well. It follows the pattern of the Divergent series--fantastic at first, then kind of drops off. Worth reading, in my opinion.

It was entertaining to read, but I was not prompted to read any of the sequels.

Hmmm... I guess that if there are still copies when I go to the bookshop this weekend, it couldn't hurt to pick up the series. It's 75% off...

I loved them all. They were interesting and the mystery was well done. I can't wait to see it on the big screen. The only one I have left to read is The Kill Order which is the prequel to the series.
