This is the first book of a trilogy and have to say it was amazing! Had this one sitting on my shelf for a while. Thought that it might be too much like Hunger Games so I kept putting it off. I was wrong on that end.
It's about a boy named Thomas who wakes to find himself in a moving closed-in container with hardly no memory at all. Scared and confused, the "box" he is in finally stops and he winds up in a place with other teenage boys. These boys run this place by raising animals, gardening, etc. They've learned to take care of themselves with what they have and what they may receive through the box. Around their "home" is a maze where some of them go daily in search of a way out.
Thomas's arrival wasn't unusual but the arrival after him is. That arrival sends the whole place out of balance and nothing is the same afterwards. Who put them there and why?
Fast paced throughout the book. Had to keep reading the next chapter because I had to find out what happened next. Highly recommended!
