My review of The Maze Runner (The Maze Runner #1) by James Dashner

The Maze Runner
(The Maze Runner #1)
by James Dashner 

If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

Remember. Survive. Run


MY THOUGHTS...

I've been putting off reading The Maze Runner series for a long time. The books have just been sitting on my shelf as I read everything but them. After a couple of months, I picked up this book and read the first sentence...

Here I am, four days later. I didn't write a review as soon as I finished the book because I was too busy reading book two.

This book is terrific, with drama, the fight for survival and a hint of mystery, my three favourite things merged into one book.

My favourite characters are Minho, Newt, Thomas and Teresa, in that order. I still don't know why I like Minho and Newt so much, but I think it's because of how they are both great leaders. The reason Thomas isn't my favourite character is that I feel like too much of everything that happens, happens to him. I think that maybe Newt, Alby, Minho or Gally should be suffering as well as Thomas.

All in all, I Highly Recommend this book to everyone, young adult or not, as it is such a great book!
