So The Maze Runner is 3rd Person Limited to the main Character Thomas which is interesting and somewhat frustrating as well because the reader is about as confused about everything thats's going on as he is. There really isn't any wordplay, though the imagery is more pronounced in some areas than others. One part that really comes to mind is when the Grievers are introduced and described. Rather unfortunately I had been eating breakfast which I do not suggest during pages 38 and 39.
" A large bulbous creature the size of a cow but with no distinct shape twisted and seethed along the ground in the corridor outside ... The creature was a horrific mix of animal and machine, and seemed to realize it was being observed, seemed to know what lay in the walls of the Glade, seemed to want to get inside and feast on human flesh."
The sentences are normally medium or long like the two I quoted, but there isn't really any wordplay. The size of the Grievers is likened to a cow though so I guess that counts for something.
I really did like the book though, and I have pretty high hopes for the second one. Since the test group in this one was all boys and it was hinted at that there was a group b I have a feeling that the next one will be all girls trying to escape the maze and then the third one they actually cure the plague that's engulfed the world because of solar flares.
