The Maze Runner by James Dashner Review by Aditi Patel

            The Maze Runner is actually a really popular book by James Dashner, for those who know. When it was released it became quite popular quickly, and was even turned into a movie. The novel starts off with a boy who wakes up, forgetting everything except the fact that his name is Thomas. There are other boys with him too, and a leader who welcomes Thomas. There is a wall where all of these boys are, and behind it is the maze which is like a labyrinth. The boys try to go through the labyrinth to find an exit each day. Usually, only boys show up in the area, but one day a girl does. The girl tells Thomas there is a code to exit the labyrinth. The boys have to figure out what the code is, and how to exit the maze before it’s too late. The story has a very gripping plot, and is full of action and thrill. I would recommend this book to anyone, because it has so many different aspects that I feel would fit in with anyone’s likes. I also watched the movie, which really goes through with how the novel was, but I would recommend watching the movie after reading this book.
