The first book in the trilogy, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, came out in October 2009. Amazingly, people are still buzzing about this book today. If you love action/adventure and those “make-you-think” books, then you’ll love this one.
In The Maze Runner, the main character Thomas shows up in a place called “The Glade”. Full of other boys, the Glade is in the middle of a maze that hasn’t been solved in 2 years. Their goal? To get out alive. All of their memories were wiped, and they all show up the same way. One new guy every month, the doors out to the maze close every night, supplies come in the box, but one day EVERYTHING changes. There comes a girl, and she says everything’s going to change. They don’t have any more time, and they need to figure things out.
This book does an outstanding job of keeping you hooked. Every page has something new. It’s as if you’re there with the Gladers and trying your best not to lose your mind. If you’re a fan of The Hunger Games then you’ll love this trilogy.
