Summary
"When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he's not alone. When the lift's doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade-a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.
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. Every night they've closed tight. And every 30
days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.
Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up-the
first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message
she delivers.
Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If
only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind."
Review
The Maze Runner is an interesting story. I was drawn in by the history and idea of it being an experiment, but I felt the characters were frustrating. I wonder if I would have preferred to be omnipresent, and know all that happened in the past to create the experiments in the novel, as the only reason I felt compelled to complete the story was to discover why it was all done, and what had led up to it. The main character didn't really grow or change much, and I felt there could have been more relationship development as well. I have not yet read the prequel, but I might be updating my review after I do.Updated Review: I would have to say that I almost enjoyed The Kill Order better than the Maze Runner trilogy. It was full of non-stop action and adventure, and cleared up how long ago the flares had occurred and also explained how the virus was come into existence.
