Maze Runner or And Then There Were None! -Nate

The Junior Smackdown Final for 7H1!  The battle between 2 great books, both good in their own ways.

The book "And Then There Were None," by Agatha Christie, was a murder mystery. I didn't like it as much as "Maze Runner," by James Dashner ,mainly because I don't like murder mysteries as much as a captivating and intriguing post-apocalyptic book. The first 50 or so pages were quite dry, whereas the first 50 pages of Maze runner had you reading all night. The characters in both books were really relatable. You could pick a favourite character within 20 pages.

The book "Maze Runner"was so good just because it was so suspenseful. At the beginning of the book Thomas (the main character) wakes up in a massive maze with no memory but his name. As a reader you only know as much as Thomas does which is certainly not much.

"And Then Were None" is about ten people who are all strangers to one another and who are all going to an island for different reasons. Deaths occur one by one following a nursery rhyme. Another downfall to this book is the language the author used. Some of it was very hard to understand.

So my choice for the winner of the round is Maze Runner.
