Worth it

So I read the reviews on this and ... if you're a big fan of this series, this verse, this book is a must. I loved it. Now in saying that I wouldn't waste a credit on it, cause well you can get a more expensive book with that credit, this one is just 99 cents, also under 2 hrs. SOooO, just pay for it. Save that credit for the next new book in this series.

Good notes

This helps to fill in the story but read this after books one to four.

Last fourth is different book

I like the "story" and I like the narrator but be warned: the last fourth of the file is from another book by James Dashner, The Eye of Minds. I thought something was wrong with my download so I deleted it and downloaded it again.

the maze runner

this was one of the most interesting books I've ever read on thus website it is just so good

So many unanswered questions!!!

Why did the choice of who to save from the brain surgery matter if Thomas was chosen anyway. Was Thomas's memories ever retrieved?
In the past why did Thomas and Teresa choose to help Wicked? These questions go on and on. I hate when authors leave it up to the readers to make up what they think happened. So frustrated and hurt.
