"The Maze Runner" by: James Dashner

Over all The Maze Runner is a very entertaining and epic sci-fi novel. I honestly did enjoy it quite a bit but it wasn't till the very end that it really started to show a good storyline. I think that the Dashner's second book in this series really will have a lot more of a surprising unpredictable feel to it. Also, it did a good job with the character development.

I can't say I loved it but it was a very entertaining concept. I think the only thing standing in the way of me saying I loved it, is that it was so predictable. I think the author gave away too much information at the beginning so it didn't have a huge amount to grow, to the point that the ending wasn't too surprising.

It did however paint a beautiful picture of survival. The Maze Runner is about a boy who comes to in a place completely forgien, a giant maze and he is in the center of it, with a group of other teenage boys. As they try to discover the maze they are also forced to try to recall previous memories of how they got there, who had placed them there, the very point of it all and most importantly, who they are.
