The Maze Runner and James Dashner

I recently read an amazing book.
Title: The Maze Runner
Author: James Dashner
Genre: Science Fiction
Length: Average (approx. 400 p.)
Rating: 5 out of 5

It is called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The story follows Thomas, a boy who arrives in a place called the Glade with no memory of his life. The other boys who live in the Glade, called the Gladers are trapped in the middle of a Maze and also share his amnesia. Every morning the doors to the Maze open and every night they close. If you are caught inside the Maze at night, you are as good as dead because the animal-machine hybrids called Grievers prowl the Maze at night in search of prey. When Thomas arrives, things start to change. The first girl to ever arrive in the Glade comes the day after Thomas with a message that she is the last to arrive. That is only the beginning. Soon, the things that the Gladers came to depend on are pulled out from under their feet. Thomas is determined to discover the secret of the Maze and time is running out. All of this leads to a heart-pounding, fist-clenching climax. I absolutely recommend this book to all readers. James Dashner paints a perfectly believable world filled with deep characters and his fluency and sense of direction will keep you reading to the last page. This is a five-star book. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel, The Scorch Trials and I will write a review as soon as I am done. To check out James Dashner's blog, CLICK HERE

I got my copy while browsing Barnes and Noble, but if that doesn't work for you, I would get it through Amazon or, if all else fails, I would check Ebay.
