Sixteen-year-old Thomas wakes up with no memory in the middle of a maze and realizes he must work with the community in which he finds himself if he is to escape.
paigemartin: The characters are placed in a foreign environment without an understanding of how they got there or who put them there. The battle to escape back to reality is filled with monsters and adventures that lead to an incredible amount of character development.… (més)
The Maze Runner has a great hook, and fans of dystopian literature, particularly older fans of Jeanne DuPrau's The City of Ember (Random, 2003), will likely enjoy this title and ask for the inevitable sequel.
With a fast-paced narrative steadily answering the myriad questions that arise and an ever-increasing air of tension, Dashner's suspenseful adventure will keep readers guessing until the very end.

Dashner knows how to spin a tale and make the unbelievable realistic.

Although this opening volume will appeal to the same audience as hot dystopian thrillers like The Hunger Games (2008), it doesn’t promise the same level of devotion.

James Dashner's "The Maze Runner" Is a pretty decent book but there are some minor flaws in the book that makes it rather boring to read.
1 Point is in my opinion the middle feels very dry this can make the book very boring for the few hundred pages that you have to read to get to the ending.
1 Thing I really like about the book is how frantic and chaotic the ending is there's so much happening in the last 30 pages it's really cool if you can keep up with the pace of the book.
2 Things I enjoy about the book are the characters and the setting. Starting with the characters all of the people in the book have their own emotions. Some are shown as super aggressive and others can be shown as nice kind people. Now talking about the setting, the setting is amazing you can really imagine the gross vines and rust on the walls and all the places inside and outside of the maze.
1 More thing is that the book overall is a pretty nice and fun book to read not being too hard to read but being just enough to keep people from leaving.
I believe that this book is an absolutely amazing book for students of all ages ranging from middle to high school. While some of the topics in the book may be a little bit tough for some of the younger readers to grasp, this book offers a gateway into many questions which we, as a society, face today and is a brilliant display of literary techniques. Through intense use of foreshadowing, characterization, and imagery the reader of this book is sure to be captivated and intrigued to read the rest of the series. I would especially recommend this book to you if you like other futuristic dystopian books such as "The Hunger Games" or "The Giver" as much of the base ideology is very similar.
