The Maze Runner, by James Dashner
Young Adult, 2009
When Thomas comes to, he finds himself in a metal elevator, knowing nothing about himself except his first name. As the doors open, he's greeted by other 'Gladers', all part of a community behind stone walls. Outside these walls is a maze - and perhaps the only way out. Together, this community works together to survive while they find that answer.
But one day a girl is dropped off with a cryptic message. And then the supplies stop coming. The end is coming, and they'll have to work a lot faster if they plan on surviving at all.
I think the plot was very intriguing, although a little different than what I expected. I would agree with other reviews - I did find the pseudo-swearing a little annoying, but not enough to keep me from enjoying the book. There's definitely a cliffhanger, and definitely a lot of unanswered questions, but it was a fun read that I finished quickly.
Graded a B.
