The maze runner is the first book in the trilogy wrote by James Dashner set in a post-apocalyptic future. Sixteen-year-old Thomas wakes up in an elevator not being able to remember anything but his name, he was then meet by a heard of boys who had also lost their memory they then surround him as the doors to the elevator open. They tell Thomas that every month a new boy comes and every week fresh food comes from the elevator that he came from they also tell him that he’s in a place called “the Glade”.

In the glade friendship is necessary, because without a strong community no one would have any food because everyone in the glade has a job weather its farming, making tools, or scouting the maze everyone has a role. Early on in the book Thomas becomes friends with Chuck, he believes that Thomas can lead them to safety. Thomas also becomes friends with Minho is basically in charge of everyone in the glade, which allows him to become a runner. However, Thomas’s closest friend is Teresa who is the only girl in the whole glade. Even though neither of them remember anything somehow they still feel like they know each other which truly shows that friendship can surpass anything, even memory loss.
At the end of the story they find out that it was all just a government experiment to see if they were smart enough to find their way out because they needed to be the cure for a disease that killed millions of people called the flare.
Over all I thought that The Maze Runner was a very good book. It had an exciting plot that kept me interested James Dashner did a great job at writing it. I would definitely recommend this
