I loved this book so much omg. I  finished reading it the day after I started because I couldn’t put it away. It had the right amount of mystery, thrilling and lighthearted moments. Foreshadowing was perfect and it was revealed at the right time. God, I loved it. Imma start the second book of the series right now, I’m so curious to how it continues.
I definitely recommend this book!

Wow. Ok. So. This book. I have never read anything like this before. Ever. It was dystopian at its richest, in a world that was, not realistic, but something you could see making sense in a twisted way. You could see Dashner had put some thought into the book and the characters.
 
Thomas was an interesting mc. I read this book a while ago, but I can still remember his loyalty and his  protectiveness of his friends. I also remember how he risked himself for a friend that was thought beyond saving. I read this book a good 4-5 months ago, but I still remember admiring his courage and bravery. He could be a bit strong willed at times, a little impulsive, sometimes letting his emotions take the better of him, but he always done everything with a good intention.

So what happened? Thomas "awakes" in the elevator to complete darkness and absolutely no memory. From then on, he arrives at the Glade, the home, or in other words, prison, to the 20 odd Gladers, the boys who live there. The whole story is basically about Thomas and his new friends trying to get out the Glade through the huge seemingly never ending maze that surrounds them.

It is a good, nail biting read. It is not one of my favourites, but I did really like it.

Thank you for reading my review xxx 📚😊
