Magic Hexagon

I finished two books recently, both of which i forgot to blog about. I just finished the blog for one and now I am on to the next. The Maze Runner by James Dashner was a wonderfully original and disturbing dystopian. I enjoy young adult books, especially these days... authors of ya fiction are not afraid to be more out there. They don't pussyfoot around the weird and scary things, they boldly go places that YA authors have always been too afraid to go to. The world is realizing that kids are no longer as naive as they used to be. Though I enjoy their creativity and their ability to throw away the "rules" and take literature to new extremes, sometimes I am taken aback by where they are willing to take their fabricated worlds. James Dashner's writing reminds me very much of The Hunger Games. Both stories have extra shock factor by making a large amount of the characters so young. These two authors have thrown children into situations you could never imagine going through as an adult, things that are cruel and very unusual. Luckily... I enjoy disturbing books. I read so much that I often am unable to be shocked by anything, I love when an author is able to surprise me and throw me off course. I am very excited to continue the James Dashner series.
