Starting: Maze Runner

I have seen the previews, heard the awesome reviews, want to watch the movie, so now I'm beginning The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I have always found fictional stuff so interesting and having a lot of suspense. I was intrigued by the books description. Having boys caught in a maze, with memories forgotten, no knowledge of how they got there, a shifting maze, and that the appearance of a girl would change the way they thought. I found this review, and I have to say hats what I need to keep me reading, and that is how I know it is a good book" The plot was intriguing and kept me reading; in fact, it was probably the only reason why I kept reading it." Reading reviews it reminded me of The Hunger Games, and I really liked those series so I hope I like these just as much.  







I looked up a little on James Dashner the author to learn more about his thoughts and reasons for writing The Maze Runner. He talked about in an interview how he came up with the idea late one night after his inspirations of reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. And how he is super excited to see how the movie goes just like I am! So I'm going to rush to finish it so I can get to the theaters and watch!

  1. I have heard alot of people really like this book but i never get my hands on it because reading is not a big interest of mine...but I thought it was neat how you researched the book and the authors reasoning for writing it!
