//The Maze Runner// by James Dashner Book Review By B&N.com:

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.


 * Why This Book Is Important To Me:**

This book is science fiction or sci/fi for people who don't enjoys sci/fi, or rarely read it. I loved it because while it does not seem realistic, the sequels seem realistic. It has a great message of binding together to overcome a simliar problem. They all are desperate to get back to the lives the had, but their memories are faded and washed awa,y leaving them unknowing about the outside world.

Alex R's comments: I'm so glad that I read this book! I could not put it down! Though most of the story is set in a basic setting and within a couple of days, the book was so well written that I never wanted it to end. I especially loved the mystery of the world outside and what they maze could mean.

this book is important to me because i am a big fiction reader and while i like non fiction too, this has a taste of both. it is a society far in the future that has been constructed to survive what ever tragedies and disasters are going on around them to preserve the human race.
