James Dashner - "Mazerunner"

A recommendation within the adolescent fantasy in Frisco's City Lights Bookstore.

No past. A maze to solve. Riddles...

It sounded quite fascinating. The story I liked a lot, but his editor must have been asleep because the writing is often abundant. Repetitive thoughts, hints that you already understood two pages back spelled out in the extreme...

For a while I wondered whether not being part of his audience might have been the reason, but Roald Dahl isn't repetitive, is he?

Again, the plot was interesting enough (we just did buy #2 and #3 of the trilogy, the latter in hardcover) but too bad about the writing.

7 at most.
