Not Sure Exactly How Far I Am

The Maze Runner - James Dashner

Don't have it with me (or maybe I do, and it's just shoved into the depths of my purse), but I did start this book a few days ago. This week has been a whirlwind with school starting and getting used to my new classes, so I'm not very far. 

 

But it's a little...childish.

 

The writing is tell-don't-show. I can't say exactly what it is, just that it feels immature somehow. It looks like it'll be a really interesting and compelling plot (as far as I can tell from the film trailer anyway), so I'm still looking forward to where it goes. I'm afraid all my reading time will be dedicated to Shakespeare this semester, though, so also be on the lookout for that!
