The book I chose for my novel review is called Maze Runner written by James Dashner. In my opinion this novel was amazing. It is about a boy named Thomas whose memory has been swiped and only remembers his name. Thomas is a very curious person and is always looking for answers. He wakes up in a metal box and then is sent to the Glade – a maze full of about 30 boys just like him called Gladers whose memories are also taken. Their conditions are very bad due to the fact that they only get a small amount food and supplies once a week. Later in the novel he befriends the Gladers and discovers that deep within the maze there are vicious creatures that devour humans. They are the grievers.
My favorite part of the book was when Thomas was in the metal box. This is because there was a lot of suspense and excitement in that part. In this part he was confused, scared and sad. Thus the suspense and excitement was built. The Maze Runner also has its own movie. In the novel there is a character named Chuck. Chuck reminds me of myself. I believe this because Chuck is a very innocent and naïve character in the novel. (That is what I think of myself.)
Overall I think this was an awesome novel. I rate this novel 5 out of 5. I chose this because the novel kept on pulling me in and convincing me to not put it down. I also chose this decision because throughout the novel there was excitement in every page and sentence. So will Thomas and the other Gladers ever find out why they were put in the maze and survive it? Well stop reading this review right now and read the novel for yourself.
