A friend recommended this to me (along with Eragon, actually--but it's a very long read so let's save that for another day), and said it worth a read.
And yes, it is. Seenggaknya lumayan menarik karena ternyata saya bisa betah selesein tanpa selingkuh ke buku yang lain. Maybe it was the curiosity (a.k.a. "What the shuck is going on!?") that kept me reading till the end. Tapi sayang endingnya nggantung bangeet sih hiks. Guess I have no choice but to read The Scorch Trial...
Karakter favorit sejauh ini: Newt.
Things that buggin me:
- Somehow I found the heroine wasn't so likeable. Mungkin cuma memang karena character development-nya belum nyampe ke dia kali ya. Tapi dengan Thomas berkali-kali menggambarkan dia sebagai "pretty, smart, have a pair of beautiful blue eyes"... rasanya jadi agak gimana gitu. Maybe would be much better if it was shown, instead of just being told from one's perspective?
- Di chapter awal. saya bener-bener relate ke Thomas ketika setiap kali nanya ke orang tentang sesuatu (bahkan untuk hal-hal simpel kayak "Itu apaan sih?"), mereka selalu nggak mau jawab. Sekali dua kali oke; tapi pas udah berkali-kali jatuhnya bukan misterius lagi, tapi ngeselin.
Four of five stars.
