Goodreads summary:
"If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
Everything is going to change.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
Remember. Survive. Run."
My expectations were really high when I started reading, and The Maze Runner was really as good as I expected it to be.
The Maze Runner is a real page turner and I finished it in 2 days. It is full of suspense and the only think I thought it lacked was character development. Thomas had a 'I know things better than everyone who has been here for 2 years now'- mindset throughout the whole book, and that annoyed me.
I am in love with James Dashner's writing style, and I really liked how every chapter was really short. That made it a lot easier to tell myself 'you can read three more chapters and than go to sleep' without being exhausted the next day.
I can not wait to buy The Scorch Trials and enjoy more of James Dashner's work.
