Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)The Maze Runner by James Dashner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG, I couldn't put this book down---and I am in the middle of an online course with tons of work to do and this book had so much suspense and Thomas was such a fantastic protagonist. Thomas is a teen who wakes up in a HUGE green maze in the middle of nowhere and has no memory of what his life was like before. The way the author tracks how Thomas thinks makes the book even more terrifying because Thomas is happy one minute, then plunged to the depths of despair another....drama, drama. Thomas has arrived at this maze and apparently the boys that are there tell him a new boy arrives each month and the boys have to do jobs to find out what they are best at...and that is what they do each and every day--trying to figure out how to get out of the maze while not getting killed by these horrible creatures. But then a girl comes soon after and boys are going crazy and Thomas just wants to help in any way he can---but he really wants to be a maze runner....Thomas is able to prove to almost everyone he is smart, brave and willing to lay down his life for these boys in the maze. You just have to read this book, and the great thing is there is another, so the Thomas drama in this freaky sci-fi world continues in the The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2)!!!

  • I also absolutely LOVED this book and could not put it down!  It's one of the most suspensful YA books I have read.  Have you read the second one?  Is it just as good as the first?
