The Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Maze Runner is the first of this book in this gripping trilogy written by James Dashner. It starts
with a boy named Thomas who remembers nothing except for his first name. He wakes up in this strange place known as the glade. When he first arrives he starts to realize that everyone else in the Glade has no recollection of their past life either. All Thomas knows is that the only way to find his way home is by solving the maze. But along the way things begin to take a turn for the worst. The day after Thomas arrives the first ever girl glader is brought up through the box. Only she knows how the secrets that will help Thomas unlock the memories within his own mind.



This is the first book of James Dashner's that i have read but here is a list of some other series he has written:
1. The Infinity Ring Series
2. The 13th Reality Series
3. The Jimmy Fincher Series
He first began his career in accounting and finances but decided that writing novels was his true passion. He now lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife and four kids.

I would rate this book four and a half stars out of five. The reason i give a half mark off was because i feel that there should have ended a bit better. I wont give too much away from the ending lets just say that then end is only the beginning.

                 If you really enjoy reading The Maze Runner then check out The Scorch Trials.
