The maze runner
So I heard about these books from Elle Fowler, Ellesglittergossip on youtube! omg I love her she's darling, not that huge of a fan of her sister tho. ( No hate. She's just not my cup of tea, she seems like a sweet person ) Anyway, Elle's book reviews are so addicting, seeing as I am the biggest fan of reading ever! like seriously! So of course I needed this book, my sista got it for me for my birthday! Oh thanks<3
the maze runner is about a boy (Thomas) who awakens in a elevator of some sort. He has very little memories, that all seem to be very vague, ex. he knows what an ocean is, but can recall no time in which he personally seen one.
When the elevator opens he arrives in a type of field, the four corners being, the makeshift house for everyone to stay in, the gardening center, the animal slaughter and i believe the forest? where the graves are kept. or maybe i'm missing a part? I can't remember. any who they (a hundred or so young boys) are all suffering the same memory loss as Thomas.
There is a giant wall surrounding the whole area that seals itself shut at night? Why? to keep the grievers out. Or to keep them from coming in, depending on how you look at it.
Outside the walls, is a maze that goes on for miles, the chances of solving the maze are slim because the maze changes each day and if you're smart, you'll make your way back inside before night. This is because at the end of each day the doors shut and don't open again until morning. & this means you're stuck in the maze for about eight hours with the grievers; which are half animal half machine that will stop at nothing till you're torn apart. If you're lucky you'll get away with nothing but a sting. Which causes you to go threw the changing which brings up past traumatic memories.
I thought in theory this was an amazing plot line. While I did enjoy the book, I'm now reading the second one, The Scorch Trials, this is definitely intended for younger readers. Not saying that's a bad thing, It was written for a younger audience!
If you're older, I wouldn't say this is a bad choice, just more of a light read.
If you're younger, then I really think you would enjoy it! :)
