The Maze Runner (James Dashner)

When Thomas wakes up from a strange journey in a black box, he learns he has forgotten everything that happened. Now he lives in the Glade, a place where there are only boys and a maze.


During the day, a few of the boys run in the maze. But being a maze runner has plenty of falls; if you are there past nightfall (when the doors to the maze close), the Grievers will kill you.


The Grievers sometimes come out during the day  and will kill you then too. They can also put people though the change, which could be worst then death.


Thomas is drawn to the maze and wants to be a maze runner more than anything, but to become a maze runner is not easy by any standard.


But Thomas is having more issues then becoming a maze runner, because nobody trust's him.


Every month for 2 years one boy is sent to the Glade, excepted the month Thomas comes.


One day after Thomas comes, a girl shows up with a note: she is the one last ever.

This book is one of those books that grabs your attention and won't let go. Its a little irritating because the book is fairly large.


"The Maze runner" is fast paced and every chapter another surprise hits you. The suspense straps you to your seat, but will realease you when your done in most cases.


My biggest issue with this book is that it is in third person and I hate reading in third person. However, it did not take away from the novel.
