The Maze Runner

Ready to read the amazing book called The Maze Runner by James Dashner? Well get ready! Follow the story of Thomas as he runs through the maze. He wakes up in a black box with nothing, confused and scared… He finds himself with fifty other boys inside a maze.

So Thomas has been in a maze a few days now and a girl shows up, the first girl in the history of the maze. A new guy shows up every month except now two people in a week? On top of that the girl is in a comatic state and has a note from the creators. Then back to Thomas. He isn’t like the other gladers (gladers are what they call themselves in the maze). They all cried themselves to death for their first week. On top of that Thomas wants to be a runner and go out into the maze with the grievers (grievers are monsters inside the maze). Something’s going to change and they know it even Thomas…

Well this book was straight up awesome! Okay so it doesn't get going until about page seventy or so. There is a great mystery aspect, like why fifty teenage boys are stuck inside a gigantic maze that has moving walls. There is also an action scene about every fifteen pages so you could definitely say it is a action book. Sure it’s a three hundred page book but when you read it the pages just fly by. There’s one action scene where it lasts for about thirty five pages, but it doesn't feel that way. There’s a good bit of death but not too bad.

So all in all it is a great book. It’s great for fourth to seventh grade. It probably is most appealing to boys. After you read the first book you will be hooked on the rest of the series. This series is awesome! I am on the fourth book now and I think there is only one book after this. Unless James Dashner decides to write another one.

Honestly this is one of the best books I've read since Wonder . Just non-stop action and mystery. All the times when you feel like you are actually inside the book. One time when I was reading I forgot where I was! (kinda). I give this book a ***** rating! Go check it out!
