Artisan · 09-10-2011, 02:07 PM

I recently got a Nook and have been pretty gung ho about finding books to read. I was excited when I read the synopsis of "The Maze Runner." It seemed right up my alley, until I read the reviews and saw a blemish at the end of nearly each one: GRADE 7 AND UP.

*sigh*

Has anyone read anything in a similar vein but with a more adult writing style?

Recommendations are welcome!

I tend to like Sci-fi / action / superhero / aliens / technology / hacking types of books.

I really liked the following:
Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines
Swarm by B.V. Larson
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Playing for Keeps by Mur Lafferty
Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson

Among many others but hopefully you get the gist.

Thanks in advance!
