Maze Runner

The Maze Runner, by James Dashner is a truely AMAZING book. I chose this book because many people read it (Including Mrs. Henry) and told me (Especially her (: ) how great it was. The book is mainly about a bunch of boys who were sent to a HUMUNGOUS maze,and have to find a way out. However, they don't know why they are there, all their memory is gone. You really should read this book!!

There are about 50 boys who were sent to this big maze. The maze has HUGE stone walls all around with vines and moss hanging from them. Every night the walls close, capturing them inside. But really it is protecting them from evil creatures(GREIVERS). None of them understand why they are there. Their memory has been swipped from their minds, all they remember is commmon sense things. Like what a movie theater is and how to ride a bike but not who was around them when they were doing those things. They call themselves the gladers, and have come up with a little society in the middle of the maze(the glade). All of the gladers are between the ages of about 13 to like 18, all boys! All they want is to escape the maze and go home to their families, even if they don't know them. Every month for two years a new boy has been brought to the maze. However, the day after the LAST boy appears, a girl arrives telling them this is the end. What that means no one is sure. However the sky starts to get gray like the sun dissappeared, and the walls don't close and they realize they must find a way out, and survive. Or die. So Everybody tries their hardest to try and solve the maze, find some way out of this horrid place before it is too late.
Like I said before this book was AMAZING!!!!!!!! There were soooo many things I liked about it. One of those things was that it always left you in suspense. So even when you had to stop reading you really couldn't, it was that intensifying. I also liked the detail of the place and the people and grievers...I could picture it soo great in my head (I felt like I was actually there). Even though it was amazing there were some things I didn't like. First of all....I really didnt like the ending!!! Don't get to attached to any of the characters(in any book for that matter) they just might die on you!! :( Another thing was in SOME, not all, of the really actiony parts it didnt give enough detail, and it wasn't told very well. I would deffinetly reccomend this book to anybody who likes action/adventure stories. But you can't be affraid of a little bit of gorry stuff. Any body who read the Hunger Games series and loved it, believe me you will DEFINETLY love this book.

* There is a sequel to this book, The Scorch Trials. I have already started reading this one and it is just as AMAZING!! =)*
