Who is the author of the Maze Runner? I can't remember
James Dashner, he wrote all of the books in the series. 
James Dashner, that's it. Has he written any other books you enjoy?
None outside The Maze Runner series. Have you gotten a chance to read The Maze Runner, I really enjoy the character Newt. 
That's a good character, I like Thomas. Why do you like Newt? 
I just think he's really kind and helpful to the other characters. Why do you like Thomas?
Yeah same, kind and helpful! How does the book compare to the movie for you?
The movie was good, but the book is still a lot better in my opinion. 
Yeah it's hard to compare the books to the movie, do you enjoy reading more than watching a movie?
Usually that is the case for me.
