The Maze Runner by James DashnerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a fantastic YA read, full of suspense, zero romance and fast-paced. I haven't seen the film, so I went in cold to this book and was gripped from the dramatic beginning. Thomas is delivered into the glade in a steel box. His first memory is the box, but something about this place with walls of hundreds of feet high, is familiar. The glade is full of teenage boys like himself and Thomas is newbie with many questions and no answers. What becomes quickly clear to him is that the walls house a maze and the maze houses creatures that scare the life out of the other boys. There is a 'Lord of the Flies' kind of feeling to the backdrop of this story but it is still unique. The characters are brilliantly written, their hierarchy fascinating and the story so packed full of twists and turns that you cannot help but be absorbed by each page. I would highly recommend moving out of your normal genre to give this book a go, the rest of the series promises to be equally as good.
