The Maze Runner by James Dashner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a great read for those who enjoyed the Hunger Games and other dystopian fantasies. The main character wakes up to find he remembers nothing, not even his name. He is surrounded by other boys his age who have encountered the same experience who show him the way around. Where they live is surrounded by a dangerous maze that only the “Runners” can enter.
While the first 100 pages or so are a little slow, about halfway through the book it kicks in to gear. Once you hit this point, there’s no turning back! A girl is delivered to the world with a message and various secrets are released.
This is the beginning of a series and is a good suggestion for a low-average reader.
