Ian Baird's Reviews > The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner by James Dashner is a story about Thomas, who wakes up in a mysterious place only knowing his name. It turns out everyone around him has no memory either and they are all stuck in a place surrounded by a maze on all sides of them with no known way to get out, and with their home getting more and more dangerous, Thomas and the others are more urgent then ever to get out of the maze.
Thomas is a 16 year old boy, and he is the new guy in the glade (their home). He is extremely selfless, risking his life multiple times to save others over himself, and is possibly the most urgent to get out of the maze out of everybody living there. One thing I really liked about this book was the characters. They were all different, they all seemed that they could be real people in real life, not made up characters in a fiction book. They all have different personalities and you can connect with them easily. I rate this book 5/5 stars. I rate it that because I loved everything in this book, the characters were great, the plot was great, it made me want to keep reading until I finished it. I would recommend this book for people who like cliffhangers, there are a lot between chapters and for the next book, and I also recommend this book for people who enjoy a creative plot.
