Review by Felix H.
Who would like this book? Girls and boys both, I believe would thoroughly enjoy reading this story. This book can be for young adults and perhaps children 10+. This is a fiction/dystopian novella.
The goods on this book: Maze Runner is a dystopian science fiction story taking place in the near future (about 20 years later), as the book title might reveal. There is a small colony of children living inside a giant moving maze. Thomas, the main character who awakens with no recollection of his former life, slowly discovers that he might be the final piece to a puzzle years in the making. The characters are: Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Chuck, Alby and Gally. The moral lesson of this story is that bravery and courage alone can make a hero out of anyone. I love the detail and emotion of this book, and it makes me feel like I am trying to find a way out of the maze with Thomas and his friends.
The details: 374 pages; 2009 Review by Felix H.
