It was very easy for me to decide what book was my favorite so far this year. I picked the Maze Runner by James Dashner. I loved everything about this book from beginning to end.
The Maze Runner is an action packed story about a group of boys and one girl trapped inside a giant changing maze. All of the boys show up in the maze the same way, with know memories of their family friends or past lives just their names and basic knowledge. The group has tried for 3 years to get out of the maze but suddenly when Thomas and Theresa show up everything changes. They start finding clues about their past and how to escape the maze. As the book continues and comes to the end the story of the first book is over but it opens up a door to the series to come. What i loved most about the Maze Runner was that it has non stop action and suspense that will keep you interested. The storyline is fantastically written and addicting.
The most memorable part of the book for me is when Thomas, Minho and Alby are trapped in the Maze at night after Alby has been stung by a Griever. Minho ditches the two boys and runs into the Maze in effort to hide and survive the night in the maze, which no one has ever done. Thomas stays with Alby who is unconscious and helps hide him in the ivy on the walls risking his own life. After having many close encounters with grievers all 3 boys survive the night incredibly. This part of the book showed me what friendship and trust meant to the boys in the book. This part can also be implied into real life with many friendships. When Thomas could have easily left Alby for dead but he helped hide him and saved his life.
