I really liked this book. It is action packed and full of questions. Some that are answered in the book and some that are not. While I was reading it sort of reminded me of The Lord of the Flies. The way they had to work together and of course you have some who play by their own rules.


Thomas wakes up in a lift. He can remember nothing except his first name. When he arrives at the
Glade he finds it filled with young boys, like himself. They remember nothing about their past lives, nothing before the Glade. Something feels familiar to Thomas even though he is sure that he has never been to this place before. Even the Maze that closes tight every night does not scare him like it should.


Then something different happens. A girl arrives the next day with a message. A message that they don't fully understand, or do they?


As I said before, I liked the book, I didn't love it. If you liked Lord of the Flies or even The Hunger Games, you will probably like it. I was so excited in the beginning and the middle but toward the end it started loosing its flavor, in my opinion. I will read the other two to see what happens.. I hope you enjoyed this review..
