I really loved the TMR series. While reading it was like that I lived in the world of TMR that you had created. I had started using the maze vocabulary as well. It was fun . But when Newt died , I just couldn't believe it. My heart was broken. He was not the main character but he stole the show,man.At the ending it felt like the story is left incomplete. Not your fault because I was so much into it. But thanks for giving me such a wonderful world.I loved the books and Lots of love to you as well.

Hi Mr. Dashner,
I am a student in the 10th grade and I can tell you first of all that I do not like reading any books no matter what kind. But for a book report back when I was in middle school I had to choose which book to read so I chose yours; The Maze Runner. Now this book and the rest of yours are amazing. Your books are the only ones that I have truly enjoyed reading. Now after reading the books and the prequels, I started to watch the movies. I love the movies, they are a great representation of what is displayed in the books while still being very very entertaining. Now I was wondering if you were going to make the prequels into movies too. I would love to see those as movies as well, just because I am totally blown away by the books and movies that are out right now. Let me know what you think you are going to do.

Hello there Mr. James Dashner,
I would just like to say, WHAT THE SHUCK IS GOING ON HERE?! WHY?! JUST WHY?! ARIS AND SHUCKING TERESA?! I USED TO LIKE ARIS! (I always knew that there was something off about Teresa) WHY 1) ARE THEY IN SHUCKING LOVE?! 2) KISSING IN FRONT OF POOR THOMAS?! LIKE, I HATE THAT SHUCK-FACED SHANK THAT DESERVES TO DIE (I'm talking about Teresa by the way). In the words of Minho, she is the 'Shuckiest shuck-faced shuck there ever was.' I seriously love Minho though. But I love your books and I love your writing. As you now know, I am up to the second book and I absolutely love it. It's hectic and dramatic, though I really hope Thomas sees that Teresa is a shank that deserves to die. I also hope he sees that Brenda is perfect for him and that she WANTS TO BE HIS SHUCKING 'Crank bride'. But still, the books are so good and I cannot wait to read the rest.
