Not sure if you were aware but theres also a 4th prequel book The Kill Order helps ties up some loose ends and is a great read also with another prequel book coming in 2016 :)The maze runner
I love Dylan O'brian (Stiles from Teen Wolf) and Kaya Scodelario (Effy from Skins UK), and to see them share a role in a movie... I found the book, I read the first, then the second... looked for mounth for the third book, finally got it, read it in two days, then FINALLY I watched the movie. Well as always books are better but I liked it anyways! :)
