Review + Summary
I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the author made up this whole other world, where everything is different from the real world. I also loved how the movie and how it pretty muched captured everything, there were some changes but not many. The author really described the characters well and the description of the glade is amazing, like how the book managed to describe the whole maze and like every little detail.
