The Maze Runner by James Dashner |
In two words: Loved It.
This is the first in a series and I can't wait for the next one. Like most firsts in series' this spent some time with setting up the situation, which can slow a story down. I liked Thomas, the main character. The supporting characters didn't develop much depth, but I think there's still time for all that to unfold. There are two more books after all.
Here's the description:
"When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his
first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s
doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to
the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.
Just
like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade.
All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that
surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every
30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.
Thomas was
expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever
arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she
delivers.
Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind." (
