A movie to make you want the books!

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2014)

Just took my wife to see this movie. I'd seen the books over the last couple years and heard growing interest in it, but hadn't taken the plunge to buy them.
I will now.
Wow. That's my first reaction to this movie. I write fantasy books for a living and honestly, there hasn't been a movie in some time that grabbed my emotions so smoothly as The Maze Runner. No, no spoilers here--but I'll tell you that this movie had my wife and I caring about the characters so quickly, I actually did a double take.
I actually sat up in the theater and looked at my wife and said, "Woah. I...actually care about what happens to these kids! How the hell did that happen?"
Decent acting, good story...and when the lights went up, our agreed decision was to get home and buy the books for our Nooks ASAP.
Well done!!
