I'm still reading The Maze Runner and i got to say it is a page turner! As i read i don't feel like stopping. Even though i saw the movie it seems like i am hearing the story for the first time. This dystopian type novel has me moved to continue reading it to the very end and all books that follow as well. The characters are evolving and becoming these new people who are ready to take charge or control. Thomas asks more and more questions and can't always find the answers though. He wakes up one day or sometime, and decides he wants to become a runner. A runner is someone who well runs around the maze mapping it out and looking for an exit to get out of the Glade. Minho and other runners have ran that maze for 3 years and still haven't found an exit. That is because every night after the doors close, the maze changes. The Maze Changes!Where i am in the book is when Ben has been "stung" and is being banished because of the trouble he caused with Thomas and some other characters. Also a newbie arrives 3 days after Thomas which is absurd because a new person only arrives every month. Another twist is that the newbie is a girl, the very first and last girl and new Glade member ever. A mysterious note in her hands read: She's the last one. Ever. The girl is later revealed to be Teresa and for some crazy messed up reason she only remembers her name (like everyone else in The Glade), but also Thomas. She for some reason remembers Thomas' name. Gally thinks that Thomas knows more than he's letting on and is against him throughout. I don't want to give more of the story away so i'm gonna stop here.
James Dashner does a wonderful job displaying the characters and making each character unique in their own special way. Because Dashner made the characters the way they are, the actors who played in the movie did a fantastic job in bringing the characters to life. I thank Dylan O'Brien for outstandingly playing Thomas, Blake Cooper for playing Chuck, Thomas Brodie-Sangster for playing Newt, Ki Hong Lee for wonderfully playing Minho, Will Poulter for playing Gally and Kaya Scodelario for playing Teresa. Each actor displayed their characters in a way you can only imagine. They also did a fantastic job in bringing the characters to life and making us readers enjoy the book/movie even more!
