The Maze Runner

After reading Mrs. Bross' blog, I decided to read The Maze Runner myself. Mrs. Bross was mainly taklinkg about this book and what she liked and what she disliked in this book. For this post, I am going to focus on what Mrs. Bross didn't like because I found it interesting. What she said she disliked was how there were no happy scenes in this book. I think she is completely right. After reading the book I realized that I thought kind of the same thing. 

This book is about a boy named Thomas that is sent to a place that is trapped, and there is no way out. Thomas has no idea who he is and what his past was like. He has to find a way to get himself and his friends out of there, before everyone dies. 

Back to the lack of happy scenes, I think it is true, and it happens in a lot of cases. I liked this book better and thought it was less noticeable because of the little amounts of humor that James Dashner involves in this book. For example, my favorite character, Chuck. He is a light hearted kid who will always look on the bright side of things. For example, when Thomas first gets to the place and asks Chuck how old he looks, Chuck says, “I’d say you’re sixteen. And in case you were wondering, five foot nine … brown hair. Oh, and ugly as fried liver on a stick.”

Overall, I would reccomend this book to people who like plot twists, suspense, and some action.
