The Maze Runner

The book I choose to read was "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner. It was recommended to me by many teachers and students who have read it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books on apocolyptic "what ifs" that could happen.

Thomas is sent up to "The Glade" and quickly learns where he has been sent but not why. When you arrive in The Maze you have no memory of your previous life, not even your age. But you do know your name. But the Gladers, as the boys call themselves, know something is different about Thomas because he is the last boy to be sent up from "the box".
Teresa is the only girl to ever be sent into the Glade. She is in a coma for two days and knows more than everyone thinks. She also knows more about why they are there and who sent them...
Minho is the leader of the Maze Runners. The Maze Runners are the boys who leave the Glade and run around the Maze trying to find where it stops but they never find an escape. He soon trains Thomas to run with him and they find a certain code...

Two things I liked that about this book is how intricate the story is ligned up and followed through. Sometimes you think you almost have it figured out and then something else keeps you questioning. One thing i did not like about this book is how hard it was to get into. The beginning was very slow!
