The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)The Maze Runner by James Dashner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When I began this book, I wasn't that taken with it, but I decided to plow through, as it had just been made into a movie, and it seems that James Dashner is a very popular writer of YA fiction. The book does get better, and the short chapters make you want to keep going to find out how this will all turn out. Thomas, the main character, wakes up in a place surrounded by young boys and teens, and he has no memories of who he is. All of them have had their memories wiped clean. The boys have developed a sense of community, they all have jobs, but Thomas wants to know why they are there. Lots of action and violence, and the last chapter was a killer for me. A good book for 7th/8th graders, and up.
