Really great book, with just the right amount of mystery, suspense, adventure, action, and, unfortunately, heartache/death. While some may say it has a slow start, I think it works for this tale, and gives the reader time to learn characters names and such. I'll admit that it is rather confusing in the beginning, however, I think the author, James Dashner, wants you to feel that way, so you relate to the main character, Thomas. There is new vocabulary and slang, different places, and rules that Thomas feels restricting that are all new to the reader, but you understand it after a bit. I'd recommend it for +11, maybe younger/older depending on the reader and what they like/have been exposed to.
