Summaries
Add a Summary16 year old Thomas is the new boy at The Glade. He has no memory of how he got there or of his past. But he is not the only one. Once he gets to The Glade, he discovers that every boy there went through the same thing and that they also have no memory of their past. Thomas's arrival was not surprising (they get a new boy every 30 days) but what was truly unexpected was the arrival of another new kid the next day. This new kid is a girl. The only girl they've gotten ever. But what is truly frightning is what the girl says and the note she is carrying. She says that the ending is near then goes into a coma. The note in her hand says that she is the last new kid. Ever!

"I can still kick your pony-lovin' butt with twice this much pain." Thomas shrugged, "I do love ponies. Wish I could eat one right now."
An idea had just occurred to him. A horrible, terrible, awful idea. The worst idea in the history of horrible, terrible, awful ideas. - Chapter 45 page 11 of 13

Add a CommentTHIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I LOVED IT <3 You have to read it. You might not like it in the beginning but the more you get into the book the more you'll love it :)
this series is sooooo awsome!! I love it! cant wait til THE KILL ORDER (4th book) comes out this summer 2012!!!! the hunger games series was my first favorite but now this series is my first fave!!!!!
I love this series! It's the best ever and i also love the Scorch Trials and the Death Cure! I cannot stop reading them and hope more come out.
Recommend this to anyone who loves Hunger Games . Great Book! :D
The Maze Runner is an AMAZING book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When i first started reading this book i thought "okay this is interesting". But as i read further and further i started thinking "Okay. Hands down this book is AMAZING!" I recommend this book to everyone who likes mysteries and adventure.
At the beginning, the book is slow. As you read more, you start to understand along with the hero of the book. However, it is deeply troubling. And takes you for a ride, emotionally. These kids are being used, and by the end of the book, it is clear they will continue to be tested with no rest into the sequel. I will not read the next 2 sequels, as the kids are being treated cruelly, at the expense of adults watching them, and trying to control them. Very, very sad.
I cant decide if it better than the Hunger Games or worse... they're both really good ;)
THIS IS A MUST READ!!!! I loved this book, it's easily as good as the hunger games! It's hard to predict what comes next, definately a great read!
GREAT BOOK I think better than the Hunger Games.
AWESOME book! Loved it! could not put it down at all! I thought about when i was in class. It was so good. the best story i would recommend to everyone. it has suspense at every turn and you never know where this story will take you. The story is filled with all kinds of drama and twists, it is impossible to put down. you have to read it be beware you will get hooked on the first page and not stop reading until the last page! Can't wait to read the second book. Great Story! :)
