Those endangered lives would be the Gladers, a crew of cagey boys trapped in a vast place called the Glade. The Glade is an expanse of forest and field surrounded by vine draped walls. An intricate maze lay on the other side. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened and every night they've closed tight, separating the nasty creatures lurking in the maze in the darkness from the vulnerable boys. Every thirty days a new boy has been delivered. Thomas was expected but the next day, a girl is sent to the Glade - the first girl ever to arrive. More surprising yet, is the message she delivers...At every turn of the pages, can the maze be solved and the Gladers escape, or is the maze really unsolvable?
Honestly this book did not inspire me. I have read similar themed books that have really captured and grabbed my imagination and The Maze Runner was not one of them. The only thing that I enjoyed was the fast pace of this novel. What didn't quite work for me in this book was the flow. I found it was disjointed.
If I could change one aspect of this book, I would choose to change the flow of one event moving into the next because the author did not do a very good job at spacing the exciting parts. I fell asleep a few times while reading this book...
