The Maze Runner ~ James Dashner



If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.
 
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
 Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.
 Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
 Everything is going to change.
 Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
 Remember. Survive. Run.


                                                                       Book Review

In my opinion, I found the majority of the book to be very slow paced. It took me a while to get into. It wasn't until a few chapters from the end of the novel, that I felt I was really into it, but even then it wasn't to the point that I couldn't put it down. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. I did find James Dashner's words to be effective though. I felt exactly what our protagonist, Thomas, felt. When he was confused, so was I. When he was angry or ready to act, so was I. I thoroughly appreciate that in a book. 

I haven't decided if I will continue with the series or not. If I do, it's because I really did love the last fw chapters and I do want to know what happens, but if the series continues with that slow pace, I don't really know if I want to continue. Let me know if I should or not.
