    The Maze Runner series, despite all the attention it's gotten and all its fans, isn't all that great. Yes, the plot is interesting and the characters are at least moderately likable, but other than that, I didn't love it. Many people think it's a great series; I even have a friend who is a big fan of the books; but I don't share their enthusiasm for it. I didn't find the main character very relatable or great, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The character arc and development is small, if there at all.

    The finale of the Maze Runner series is no better than the first two, and it's only an okay book, not a great book. Honestly, I don't understand all the hype about this series. There is very little character development or real emotion, and I wouldn't recommend you read this book.

    This second book in the Maze Runner series is interesting and I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you're looking for something to read, find something more worthwhile. Only read this book if you're really wanting to read it because of things you've heard or are desperate for something to read. Overall, it's an okay book, but not much more.

    A companion book to The Giver, Gathering Blue is about a young girl with a disability in her leg who lives in a dystopian society that shuns the weak or deformed. I highly recommend this book, as well as the companion books by this author.

    The Messenger, a companion book to The Giver and Gathering Blue, is a great book that I highly recommend. Set in a utopian society, the Village, this book is about one of the characters, Mattey, from Gathering Blue when he's older. But things in the Village take a dark turn, and it's up to Mattey to fix it.

    The Lord of the Rings is a very well-known series, of course, and it's very well-written and interesting. However, it can be long and tedious, especially with all the traveling they do. It's not a quick read, and can sometimes get slightly boring, but it's balanced with occasional action (an attack from Black Riders, etc.). I recommend this book to those who like traveling, magic, fantasy worlds, and long books.

    (Spoilers) I am a huge DC Fan, and this movie is among average. First, lets start with Batman. Batman has been played by many actors, (And ''George Clooney'' if that's how you say his name, was the worst.) but Ben Affleck was not the best Batman. In fact the only thing they got right about Batman was that he is very dark. And he does not murder people! Seriously, he killed quite a lot of people, using guns! Now lets go to Superman.... Superman has never been better with Harry Cavill as his actor. He is great and just is the complete right person for this job. I don't think there is anything wrong with him, except for that cringe worthy part were he said 'MARTHA'. Who should have Won? Batman, and he won. Batman had the advantage from stealing Kryptonite from Lex Luthor. He also had help from Alfred (Who had the worst actor ever to play him) to make the suit. Now I'm going to start another topic, this movie was great, but it took me one more watch to realize what was wrong. The movie is very long, (At about 155 Minutes) and the story just drags on. In my opinion, Lex Luthor felt like he was the Joker of the Superman Trilogy, which doesn't work at all. Louis Lane is great, and Doomsday is just full on CGI crazy. Let's be honest, DC hasn't done well with these movies, but they are at a stage were they are learning. If you want something easier to understand, go to Marvel. But if you want a more mystery, darker and in depth story line, come to DC.

    This movie is good but not good like it's WAY too dark especially Batman and Superman is too dark Christopher Nolan his batman was PERFECT Zack Snyder just ruined batman i was disappointed with that he has a very cool costume but just overall way too dark and he kills REALLY ugh and Superman he is another one he became pretty dark after killing General Zod and just other stuff this film is PG-13 but it should've been rated r overall this film is just not well done there is very cool scenes but it really felt dragged and confusing big blob of action and it has dragged out action and dragged out plot just very not well done i didn't see it in theater but i know lots of people left before it was over
