“Lame…” is what I thought to myself once I finished watching the movie “The Maze Runner.” In my opinion, I thought that The Maze Runner book was way better than the movie. When I read the book, I believe I was a sophomore in Ms. Brown’s class and I shockingly liked the book.

In my head, I had an image of a small town or village with kind of normal looking houses, but it was the exact opposite. Therefore, the movie was just horrendous and was just a big disappointment.
