Maze Runner by James Dashner

A Review By Owen

Maze Runner is by James Dashner.  Thomas is the main character, but there are about 50-60 rude boys.  They were sent to this mysterious place called Glade, but they don’t know anything but their name.  Some of them explore the maze where they think there is an exit.  The terrifying monsters called Greivers are like rabid animals guarding the maze.  Then Thomas figures something out, on the cliff in the maze the Greivers sometimes jump into a hole off the cliff.  Then the maze opens up so the Greivers can get them at all times.  The kids start hiding in the buildings at night horrified.  Then coming into Glade is a girl!

I really liked Maze Runner because it was very mysterious and surprising.  I would recommend this book to mainly boys who like mystery.  My favorite part was when Thomas had to jump into the Greiver hole.  He had to kill a Greiver and it squirted out gushy stuff.  When they get out I like that people drive them to the real world.  James Dashner has written a couple more books in the series, and I give it a 9 out of 10.
