The Maze runner is the story of Thomas, who finds himself in a Glade, a place surrounded by an ever-changing maze, which has part-mechanic part mucus monsters called Grievers. He is at a complete loss of memory and is stuck therein with some 60 other boys called โGladers.โ Runners are those who try and find a way out of the maze. He finds that sting of a Griever can recall old memories, but it is a terrifying process. In his journey of time, he makes friends with various inmates. As the story proceeds, we see that Thomas increasingly desires to join the Runners in their pursuit and one day he does find such a chance. Making his own capabilities realised, he earns himself the title of โkeeper of the runnersโ. In his quest for the way out, Thomas finds a transparent hole which he refers to as the Griever Hole, which renders the glade unprotected from the Grievers. With the help of his friends, he finds the code to way out. The desperation from curiosity makes him decide to get attacked by Grievers, bringing him closer to the solution of the maze. Will this code be their ticket out of the maze, will Thomas be able to vend of all the Grievers, while he approaches the Hole, what has brought him to this Glade and what is his purpose of being there, in that place are the questions that make the theme of the book The Maze runner, published by Chicken House as first edition in 2011.

It's really good!
The Maze Runner was like a breath of fresh air to me. This book is like a giant puzzle that you solve along with the characters. It is filled with unexpected twists and turns, full of action and I sighed every once in a while because it was so much to take in at once. It started off highly confusing, but soon took a turn for the exciting and left me hanging with so many unanswered questions; after the last page, I was still begging for more. The Maze Runner had me gripping my seat until the very end. A great and very thrilling read

WORLD'S BEST NOVEL EVER WRITTEN
I pity the person who don't read book but them more who don't read THE MAZE RUNNER.It's must for fan of sci fiction and fantasy. by god it's what I could describe it -horremendeous and fabulous.Even words fail when it comes to describe it,I literally never read prequel if it's released after sequel but I am happy to say I was very wrong.I now have whole James Dasher Collection!

Welcome to the Maze and Good Luck finding your way out
Now before you send rabid dogs on me, let me be clear that I did love the book but the fact is that there are certain things in the book that is not impressive enough. Yes I do realize that Maze runner is a phenomenon and now that the movie is coming out it is surpassing its stature from just another popular book. Now while we are actually talking about the movie, let me tell you the reason why I want to watch The Maze Runner. it is because of Dylan OโBrien. I thought probably it is a good idea to read the book before catching the movie and thatโs how I landed with maze runner The book is exactly like a maze. In the beginning I had no clue what is going on and what is happening and who is who. As a reader I was exactly like the character, who opens his eyes to find himself in a whole different world and with no memories. It took a while for me to understand the concept, characters and what exactly is happening. This comes partly because of the language which at times is joyous and captivating but other times just gets on your nerves with round and round circulation and not exactly coming to the point. So the language basically is , an in and out deal. The book gets spicier in the second half that is when things are really getting hot and buzz worthy. I am dying to see the big screen rendition of the glade (which is the name of the world that the whole story is set in) and especially Dylan OโBrien as Thomas. What I like about the book is the fact that the first book in the series seals it pretty nicely yet leaving scope for anticipation towards its sequel. Though whether I would continue with the sequel is something that will have to wait and see. The book does not smooth you into the story and requires you to sit through a while to understand and get with the flow. It is towards the middle when the book actually starts getting interesting and exhilarating. The pace suddenly is good and takes you through a whole lot of emotions. The language at times loses its charm with too much jargons and slipping from topic but nevertheless it can be a fun read

Woah! One of the best series i've ever read
This series is amazing. especially the first and last book. Many people get the order of the series wrong . The series order in google is wrong. Spoiler Warning: The first three books are flashbacks and the last two books is how the story begins. Please read in this order: 1. maze runner , 2. scorch trials , 3. death cure , 4. kill order , 5. fever code U might find the the 3rd and 4th a little bit boring but continue to read to start the best book of the series ,the last one

Definitely made this Hunger Games fan "hungry" for more...
Ok, let's get the inevitable Hunger Games comparison out of the way first and foremost. I hold my hands up and admit that I was drawn to this book by the blurb on the cover which tells us that this trilogy is "A must for fans of The Hunger Games". Being a fan of the aforementioned, and in need of some new literary material to dig into, I must admit that I devoured all three books in this trilogy with much enjoyment. With that said though, whilst granted this is another young adult dystopian fantasy novel; The Hunger Games resurrected this is not. And I'm thankful for it too, because this trilogy really does stand up on its own merit as a thoroughly good read. The Maze Runner is the story of Thomas, a young protagonist who wakes up unexpectedly to find himself at the centre of a large glade encompassed by a gigantic and seemingly unsolvable maze. Keeping Thomas company are a group of young boys who call themselves "Gladers", and are determined no matter what to make the most of whatever their strange and peculiar world throws at them, with the hope of one day escaping the maze for good. Thomas soon discovers that he has entered a very strange and sinister world. Just like his fellow Gladers, Thomas has no recollection of his past, and only knows his name. Aside from their sketchy memories and limited knowledge of a distant life, the Gladers have no idea where they have come from, why they are there, or what the purpose of their peril is. The maze is filled with terrifying mechanical-animal hybrid creatures that would do any Doctor Who episode proud, and to make matters worse, the maze never seems to be the same from one day to the next. Will they ever escape? With the arrival of their catalyst, everything in the Glade begins to change. Nasty twists start happening thick and fast, and dark secrets start to emerge that cast doubts over who the Gladers really are, and whether their captors really are the bad guys. From the first page to the very last, the reader is just as in the dark as the characters, and this is something you will either relish or absolutely hate. Every time you think you know where you are, everything seems to change, again. And for me, this is what makes this book such a great page turner. The chapters are short and plentiful, and every single one finishes on some kind of twist or cliffhanger. Nothing is sugar coated, and there is plenty of blood and gore to be had. But what makes this book so great for me is the prevalence of positive human nature. Hope, love and trust are three big themes in this story, and with everything so upturned, it really is hard to know in whom the reader should invest their trust. At first Thomas seems like the hero of the hour, but as the plot unfolds, the reader will begin to question his suspected murky and mysterious past. Who's telling the truth, and what the hell is this dystopian world really about? Can Thomas really save the day, and do we even want him to? Honestly, this really is a great book. So many twists and turns, it's like a literary rollercoaster that hurls you head first into an environment that you really feel you are a part of. At every twist I found myself analysing the evidence and trying to solve the puzzle. This is so much more than just solving the maze... this is trying to figure out how and why the hell this world was ever created or allowed to exist? Of course, there are flaws. The slang jargon that the boys use can be a bit off-putting at first, and the lack of background story for the reader can be a tad frustrating. I have seen other reviewers who claim that this is a major restriction to character development, but I do have to disagree for the most part. This is actually the weakest of the three books in the trilogy for me (they just get better and better...), and if you are willing to see it through to the end, you really will believe you have actually become a part of this sinister world. I really ended up routing for certain characters (I won't tell you which ones...) and by the end of the third book (The Death Cure) I was absolutely hooked. I just hope that the plans to turn this into a Hollywood franchise finally come to fruition, because I really cannot wait to see The Maze Runner: The Movie. Definitely recommended.

AWESOME!!!! (warning: comment includes spoiler)
This. Is. The. Best. Book. EVER!! It was recommended by a friend and at first I thought it was going to be boring. Ha. Well, from the second page on I was ashamed to have thought that. I like how the author made up a slang for the boys so as not to make them swear, and (SPOILER ALERT) Thomas and Teresa's telepathical connection is excellent and really adds that extra something. Sorry, what am I saying? This whole book IS that extra something! An amazing book for teens about 11-12 and up (a little violent) and for any age from then! Seriously. This book is only THE BEST.
