This month I read the book the Maze Runner by James Dashner. I didn’t finish the book; I’m currently on page 115.
There is a boy named Thomas as the main character and he comes up in an elevator in to a glade with a civilization that has many people. It is surrounded by walls hundreds of feet high. The walls have openings on each side. Once you go through the opening there is a huge maze. Everyone has a job. There are many jobs and the most important one is a runner. A runner goes into the maze and remembers it every day trying to find a way out.
I liked this book because it is action packed and has horror, drama, and some comedy. Overall I would give it an 8 out of 10.
My favorite character was Chuck. Chuck tries hard to be friendly and helpful. A quote to prove that is “the kid tried so hard to be everyone’s friend.” In that it’s talking about his job and how Thomas feels bad for Chuck because he cleans everything and nobody really pays attention to him.
My favorite quote was “welcome to the glade, greenie.” This is said by the character Gally as he welcomes Thomas to his new home and where he would spend the rest of his life once he came up from the elevator.
