Maze Runner Book vs. Movie

 
 
The Maze Runner By: James Dashner 
Book vs. Movie
            On September 18th the movie to the bestselling book The Maze Runner ran into theaters, but does this suspenseful thriller compare to the book.
           The book was an instant hit with it's mysterious background and suspenseful chapters. On the other hand it was repetitive and predictable, all a matter of opinion. The movie on the other hand was set off by it's intensive trailer and small clips. Don't get me wrong it was a great movie just too intense to match the book. they also set up a perfect lead to make another movie but satisfying enough not to. Like the I Am Number Four movie, it ends on a; we won but we've got more to come.
           There casting was terrific they had all the characteristics described by Dashner.  
  • Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brian

  • Theresa, played by Kaya Scodelario

  • Chuck, played by Blake Cooper  
  • Minho, played by Ki Hong Lee
  • Alby, played by Aml Ameen


  • Newt, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster
 
Over- all a great cast!

The Revenge of Seven By: Pitticus Lore


 The ever changing I Am Number Four series, A.K.A the Lorien Legacies, has begun to expand it's horizon of betrayal and deceit. Adding on to the stress and intensity of this story line, the man behind the scenes has choose the leader of this alien race to become the author. Pitticus Lore the Lorien leader supposedly "wrote" the book, or as it says on the front of the book. It gives the allusion of this happening in real life as does the first page stating, "ALL THE EVENTS IN THIS BOOK IS REAL" a very suspicious beginning. But the person behind Lore? James Frey and Jobie Hughes! Amazing! Over-all a positive recommendation, a great read!
"The events in this book are real.
names and places have been changed
 to protect the Lorien,
 who remain in hiding
other civilizations do exist.
some of them seek to destroy you."
