Book Review: Must Read


I started this book yesterday. I finished this book yesterday. It was AMAZING!! Recently, my friends and I are in sort of a reading contest. We each had to pick 5 books at random from a book list and read them. Fortunately, I picked this one! It is so good!

The Plot:
Thomas arrives in a place called the Glade , having no memory of who he was or his life prior to waking up in an elevator while on the way up to the Glade. He is one of about 50 boys. He finds out the Glade is the center of an ever-changing maze which seems to have no exit, and which is populated by blood-thirsty creatures known as "grievers". There are 4 doors leading into the maze, that open every morning, and shut every night. The boys that inhabit the Glade, send"runners" into the maze each day to map it out. All have to be back before the doors close or they will not survive the night in the maze. The day after Thomas arrives, the first and only girl ever sent to the Glade arrives with a message that she is the last one to be sent and that the end is near. She then lapses into a fitful coma. Thomas must try to figure out why she looks familiar and if there is a way out of the maze before everything completely falls apart in the Glade.


I think this book is really well written and has a really good plot line! If you think it looks good; read it. If you think it looks bad; read it. Don't be daunted by the start. It is kind of confusing, but it's supposed to be that way! You'll get it more as the main character learns more. It's a mystery story that you keep collecting little pieces of throughout the book!

Warning: It is a series. The Maze Runner is just book one and the next book doesn't come out until OCTOBER! It also has a really bad cliff-hanger ending. It's your choice. In my opinion, read it anyways! It's that good (and you know how much I read)!
