I wanted to read The Maze Runner before the movie came out so I began reading it. Maze Runner Movie Trailer. I wasn't expecting much to happen in the first 100 pages of the book, but surprisingly, a lot has happened. The protagonist's name is Thomas, but that's all he can remember. He woke up in a box, and was thrusted upwards and into an opening, where he saw a bunch of other boys standing around him. Where he ends up is a weird setting, which is interesting. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say that this is set far in the future. This book is already crammed with new and unusual elements, and it involves some thinking because of that. Part of what I find cool is the maze, obviously it's important because it's in the title. So far Thomas has not been into the maze, because only the runners get to go inside. All Thomas knows are rumors of what's inside and whatever he can hear from the Glade, which is where he ends up.
The author of this book, James Dashner, is a new author to me. I like the way he writes because he provides a lot of imagery which helps a lot in a book like this. He comes up with new words to help describe the people, and things in the Glade. I always like books that have new concepts, as I've said before. The author really made this world come to life and it's very easy for me to visualize the characters and places.
I'm particularly excited to discover more about the maze and see if the boys can find the way out. I like having to think about things and put the details together with the characters even though I know a little bit more than them, because of the back of the book. Im eager to read more into the book and hope it keeps getting better!
