Read 2 times. Last read February 2, 2022 to February 5, 2022.
With his memory stolen/missing Thomas finds himself transported to the Glade where a population of boys (the Gladers) struggle to survive, as well as work out the meaning of the immense ever changing maze at circles them. The boys tasked with mapping (running in the maze and plotting their journeys) the maze are called Maze Runners. A surprisingly engaging read, despite basic characterisations and dialogue, the overall strong and all consuming mystery content makes it worthwhile. It gets as high as an 8 out of 12, because overall it's so memorable, but I can see how some would just call it a load of pants! On this my second read, the book remained as interesting and compelling.

I agree Baba. Even though it is quite a basic dystopian read, it is a good one. I'll have to re-read it to review it though.

"A load of pants" haha! Great review, Baba! This sounds like a really interesting story. I hope to get around to it one day. :)

"On this my second read, the book remained as interesting and compelling."I've been thinking of re-reading this series in original, the first book of which was so vivid that made me feel like the events in there were real and I was genuinely worried about the Gladers. The next book I've picked up after I finished the series was "The Journal of Curious Letters" by this author that at the time wasn't translated yet. I so much enjoyed it and also realized that I already am able to read in original 🙂 - so James Dashner and his "The Maze Runner" had opened up a new world for me :)
