I really liked this book and I know a lot of people were complaining that the characters didn't have any personality. While they don't have a lot of depth to their characters, I believe that it was for perfectly good reasons. One being that nobody remembers anything about their lives before they arrived at the Glade, so how can you really have a deep character when most characters are built on memories that shaped them? The second reason is the story line revolves around the Glade and the Maze itself (which makes it a real page-turner). The only essential characters are Thomas and Teresa, and there is more depth to Thomas since he is the main character.
