Book Review - The Maze Runner


The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Imagine waking up somewhere and only remembering your first name. You do not know how old you are, where you come from, or even what you look like. This is what happens to Thomas. He wakes up in an elevator, when the doors open, he is surrounded by about 60 boys. He has no clue what is going on. He is told that he has to work with the other boys, the goal is to solve the maze so that they can get out. The only problem is that the maze holds deadly "Grievers" that come out at night. Three boys remember Thomas, they do not like him for what he has done in the past. He has no clue what he did or whether or not to believe them. He is in major trouble and there may not be a way out. When the elevator shows up with a girl - the first girl ever- she has a message - "This is the End". The boys need to figure out what is going on before they all die. Find out if they can.

This was a great read. If you liked "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins - you will like this!
