The Maze Runner By James Dashner.

THE MAZE RUNNER - JAMES DASHNER

PAGES- 374 Pages.

TIME TO READ- 3 Days

SYNOPSIS:
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.

REVIEW:

CHARACTERS   5 / 5 :
wow! I loved the characters in this book! From lovable Chuck to Minho to our protagonist Thomas. Thomas was the perfect main character, he was mysterious and smart. He interacted well with other characters and loved his relationship with Teresa. I loved their Relationship <3 I also loved that their names were based on scientists !

PLOT:    4.5 / 5  
I loved the plot . I thought it was very fast- paced filled with twist and turns that kept me guessing all the way through the novel! It was a little slow in the beginning and i wasn't sure i was gonna like the book but it got better so quickly.This was definitely an awesome plot . I read it when i was off school for two days sick and i loved being tucked up in bed with this book <3.

WRITING STYLE:  4.5 / 5 :
Now, this is where it fell down for me. The maze lingo was a little hard to understand at first and the book was a little slow at the start.. :L#

OVERALL RATING: 14 / 15 -
