It seems that perhaps in the case of The Maze Runner, in a unique turn of events, the movie could be better than the book - which doesn't happen very often (although I can't really judge since I haven't read it myself).

Admittedly, historical fiction I'm a little "eh" about, but I love fairytale sort of stories, so I will make a note to pick up a copy of that one. I'm glad you liked The Maze Runner! I cannot wait to see it--I've read the book though wasn't that fussed on it, but the movie looks SO GOOD. I'm also interested to see what you think of Aristotle and Dante... I'm unlike everyone else on that book and didn't like it much, but hopefully, you'll find it good. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-23977921451007930912014-09-28T18:48:41.975+10:002014-09-28T18:48:41.975+10:00Yay I absolutely can't wait to get into it now...Yay I absolutely can't wait to get into it now, it does look amazing right from the get-go, and the synopsis cinched the deal!

It's beautiful, that one. Incredibly raw! I may have to check out Careless people. The whole nihilistic movement that took over around Fitzgerald's period absolutely fascinates me! I've read the Maze Runner but wasn't all too impressed by it. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie though! I've been hearing rave reviews and cannot wait to go see it for myself! <br /><br />I hope you have a great week ahead and have a fabulous time reading, what with all those amazing books you've picked up!
