Summer Reading Book Review

If you are looking for a good fiction novel with a lot of suspence then The Maze Runner is the book for you.  This book is about a group of teenagers (called gladers) who can only remember their first name and how to speak.  The main character is Thomas but he is different from the rest of the gladers but neither Thomas or the gladers know why.  They live in a wide open field called the glade. This is known as the safe area of the maze. Their objective is to escape the maze so they can find out about themselves and why they are in the maze.  However many things stop them from finding their way out such as the deadly monsters in the maze called grievers.  Also, the maze is only open in the day and it rearanges everyday.   If someone does not return by sunset then they are trapped in the maze.  Despite all of these complications there is a way out, the question is will the gladers find it in time?

This novel is very fast pace and suspenceful and is recomended for people who like action books similar to The Hunger Games.  I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because of its great storyline, characters, and cliff hanger that leads to the second book called The Scorch Trials.  The writing style in The Maze Runner has a lot of figuritive language and is very engaging.  The sensory details are also very descriptive and make you feel like you are in the the maze with the gladers.  This is very good trilogy as well if you want to get into a good series of books.
