James Dashner - "The Death Cure"

Third part in the "Mazerunner" Trilogy. Even worse than part 2.

You keep reading to finish the story, but that guy desperately needs an editor. Repeating actions, always the same description.

I started reading faster and faster just in order to finish the damn thing.

Found notes:

• HATE: the continuous hesitation, scared wondering, the fear of Thomas. So fucking indecisive.
  
• HATE: repetitive: his "longing" for Theresa while with Brenda.
  

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.

James Dashner - "The Scorch Trials"

Not written better than #1, but the story was interesting enough, though basically they give away most of the mystery side of the plot within the first 50 pages.

Maybe that's a good thing. You cannot stretch something like this too long.
