A Trio of Disappointing Reads Reviewed in Haiku
The Maze Runner
By James Dashner
Summary:
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
Haiku Review:
Surprisingly dull
Who made the maze and monsters?
Oh, that. Is that it?

Haiku Review:
Someone impressed his
Lit prof but not me with his
Wasteful pretention.

Don’t you fucking dare
Keep me up at night worried
Then grant no closure.

Very amusing Haikus 😀 Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy The Maze Runner – I haven’t read the book but I did enjoy the film.
Lol, I decided the books wasted enough of my time in reading them. Plus, it was fun to write haiku’s again!
