I thought that these chapters were fascinating to read. What ended up happening to Will and Karen is definitely not what I expected. I thought that Will would never come out of the house and I did not expect them to get married. I thought it was weird how when Karen found Will, when she held him, they ended up outside. I guess it was because the labyrinth affects everyone differently. Honestly, I liked this book. At first, I did not understand it, so it was difficult for me to follow and enjoy. But, in the middle, everything became clearer and I started to follow the plot. It turned out that I liked it. I’m not sure that this would be such a good book to teach in class because it is so complex and hard to follow. Also, it was frustrating having to read a book that I didn’t like in the beginning. It’s the kind of book that you have to like immediately if you’re reading it for fun.

I totally agree with what you were saying about Karen and Will. Especially after everything they had gone through marriage was very unexpected. At the beginning of the story I was completely lost, but as it progressed I was much more involved. The book was very complicated at times and probably difficult for many students, but more interesting than stories I have read in the past.
I completely agree that the book took a bit to get into. I was entirely not intrigued for the beginning, but once the plot began to pick up I found myself more interested. I think my interest was also sparked by how different this story was from the average novels I've read in the past.
