The Maze Runner

Dashner, James. The Maze Runner, New York: Random House, 2009. 336 pages. (Adventure / Sci-Fi Series)

The Maze Runner is about a guy named Thomas who wakes up in a box and has no idea where he is. Then he hears a sound that makes him more worried. When he sees a group of boys just standing there waiting for him to come up. When he finally does they are all talking to him all at ounce. Then the leader comes and tells everyone to be quit. When he asks where he is they tell him that he is the Glade. After about 3-4 days when he get use to the Glade the box makes a sound that means something is coming up they run over and see that it is a girl. The problem that Thomas face is that when the girl comes up he has this strange felling that he knows her but he doesn’t remember her because everyone lost their memories. He solved his problem by becoming a runner which means that he has to go into the maze and try to find a way out. I think that anyone who read The Hunger Games will really dig The Maze Runner because it has boys going through a maze that has these things called Grievers and they can kill them and it is going on live TV. I recommend this book because it really sticks to you and you don’t want to put it down. After you read this book than you must read the 2nd and 3rd book.
