Title: The Maze Runner
Author: James Dashner
Genre: Fiction/Science Fiction
Summary: One day, a 16 year-old boy named Thomas wakes up in a lift with no memory but his own name; he has no clue how he got there, who his parents are, or why he is there. Thomas soon finds that he is not alone. When the top of the lift opens, Thomas is surrounded by about sixty boys ranging in age from about mid-teen to young adult. None of the boys know how they got there, either. The boys live in a place called “The Glade,” a large expanse surrounded by stone walls. Outside the stone walls is a life-size maze that the boys are convinced could show the way home, if only they could solve it. All that the boys know is that every morning the doors to the maze open, every night the doors to the maze close, and every thirty days, a new boy shows up in the Glade. Most of all, they know they never want to be caught in the maze after the doors close. But, the day after Thomas's arrival, a girl shows up in the maze-the first girl ever. All the boy are very disturbed about the message the girl brings, and the girl makes Thomas start to think that he might know some answers to the maze, if only he could unlock the secrets in his own mind.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This is a very good book! I liked this book a lot because there was a lot of action and suspense, so it was a very exciting read. Also, in the book, there were many unanswered questions and mysteries of why things were happening that made me want to keep reading to find out the answers. This book takes an unrealistic and futuristic idea and makes it seem very possible and applicable to my generation. This book keeps you turning the pages right to the end.
Audience: I would recommend this book to teenagers who like mysteries, action, and suspense, and to teenagers who aren’t afraid of the dark.
Favorite Part: My favorite part from this book was when Thomas got shut in the maze and had to spend the night there. This was my favorite part because it is where some of the mysteries get answered and also where a lot of the action and suspense of the book occurs.
Series: This is the first book of three (so far) in an unnamed series.
