The Maze Runner Review

The Maze Runner Review

             This week I decided to continue with the same book as last week, The Maze Runner. I was astonished at how gripping the book was, and I just couldn't put it down. This novel is filled with several twists and turns, and everything is unexpected. There is so much drama and the author makes you feel as if you are there with the characters. As a reader, I felt desperate for Thomas, hoping he would find a way out of the maze.
              Thomas is still in The Glade, trapped. He is slowly getting used to the feeling of having no way out, but his persistence only grows. He is anxious to find a way out of The Maze, and he wants answers, quick. Ever since he was brought into The Glade, things had changed. Disease started spreading, The Maze started changing, and there were many more fatalities and injuries. People start becoming very accusing towards Thomas; they believe that he is the reason for all of the trouble in The Maze.
             Several problems are introduced in this part of the book. Every month, a terrified boy arrives into The Glade through the mysterious elevator. However, after Thomas arrived, it had only been a couple weeks until there was another one dropped into The Glade. It was a girl. This had been the first girl to arrive in The Glade, and when she arrived, the was clutching a note that informed the rest of the boys that she would be the last person to be sent into The Glade, ever. This meant that nobody would have any resources and no way to survive, because every time a person was sent into The Glade, supplies were sent with it. This made everyone feel frantic- they needed to find a way out of The Maze, and fast, otherwise they would be left to die.
          I really have been enjoying the book so far, The Maze is very intriguing, as it seems to change its course every night. I enjoy how perplexed everyone is; the reader knows how they feel clueless and as the boys learn more about The Maze, the reader learns with them. It's interesting to see this new society, how they survive and work together.
         What I didn't like about this book was the fact that nobody would tell Thomas anything. They kept restricting him from vital information. He deserved to know about The Maze, or how their society worked together. He shouldn't be considered an outcast, because they all need to be working together to find their way out of The Maze. Being deprived of that knowledge made me feel slightly confused as to what was occurring.
        All in all, I am enjoying this novel quite a bit. It has kept me on edge and I would definitely recommend this book :)
