A really long time ago, I finished the Maze Runner. It's a YA in the vein of Hunger Games, which I love. It took a while to get into but I ended up liking it enough to pick up the next one in November. I'm half skeptical of where it's going and half intrigued. Giving it a benefit of the doubt.
Long ago, I finished The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest. Sadly, it wasn't as good as the previous two. In fact, it felt like it was finished by another author. They claim not so but the style seemed to fade. As did the spunk and previous character arcs. It basically Hollywoodized itself.
Recently, I just finished Moneyball. Absolutely fantastic yet depressing because Dayton Moore was hired in a post-Moneyball era and yet consistently denies the concepts (which have always made sense to me) in the book.
