The Maze Runner by James Dashner is a thrilling dystopian novel that follows the story of Thomas, a young boy who wakes up in a mysterious glade surrounded by a massive ever-changing maze with no memory of his past. He joins a group of boys who have been trapped in the Glade, trying to survive and find a way out. As they navigate the deadly maze, they face terrifying mechanical creatures known as Grievers and uncover unsettling secrets about their existence. With time running out, Thomas becomes determined to escape the maze and uncover the truth behind their situation, leading to a suspenseful and action-packed journey of survival and discovery. 

One of the most compelling aspects of The Maze Runner is its immersive narrative. James Dashner really created a tense and mysterious atmosphere, drawing me into the intriguing world of the Glade and the ever-changing maze. The suspenseful plot, filled with unexpected twists and turns, kept me on the edge of their seats, making it difficult for me to put the book down. I didn’t have any disappointments with this book. I felt as if this book was very accurate on experiencing a new chapter in your life and how you have to grow through a series of mazes and find others doing the same thing as you to get the overall prize and satisfaction at the end. I would recommend The Maze Runner for fans of dystopian fiction and thrilling adventures, particularly those who enjoy a strong mix of mystery and action. It's suitable for young teens and anyone looking for a good narrative with thought-provoking themes. If you love stories of survival, puzzles to solve, and sci-fi, this book might be just what you're looking for. I give this book a five out of five.
