Wow. Ok. So. This book. I have never read anything like this before. Ever. It was dystopian at its richest, in a world that was, not realistic, but something you could see making sense in a twisted way. You could see Dashner had put some thought into the book and the characters.
 
Thomas was an interesting mc. I read this book a while ago, but I can still remember his loyalty and his  protectiveness of his friends. I also remember how he risked himself for a friend that was thought beyond saving. I read this book a good 4-5 months ago, but I still remember admiring his courage and bravery. He could be a bit strong willed at times, a little impulsive, sometimes letting his emotions take the better of him, but he always done everything with a good intention.

So what happened? Thomas "awakes" in the elevator to complete darkness and absolutely no memory. From then on, he arrives at the Glade, the home, or in other words, prison, to the 20 odd Gladers, the boys who live there. The whole story is basically about Thomas and his new friends trying to get out the Glade through the huge seemingly never ending maze that surrounds them.

It is a good, nail biting read. It is not one of my favourites, but I did really like it.

Thank you for reading my review xxx 📚😊

Maze Runner is one of the best books I’ve ever read. You get to follow and solve everything with the characters, and you feel as if you’re really there.

Thomas wakes up in a pitch black elevator, shooting upwards. As it opens he sees boys crowding around him, only to find they’ve been trapped here for 2 years. No way out, and their hope fleeting. 

But things all start to change when the first girl to ever arrive in the maze arrives the next day with a dark message.

 

 Is WICKED actually good? Why has there never been a girl here until now? Is this maze able to be solved, or will they eventually all be picked away by the terrifying Grievers that haunt the ever changing maze.
