If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human. When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone. Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade. Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive. Everything is going to change. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying. Remember. Survive. Run.

This book is the best book I have ever read. In the end it made me cry and it is the first book that ever made me cry. I love it. I really am attached to the series.
Thomas becomes lost with other boys in a maze. Half of them get out even though the people who made the maze trick them. I'm interested enough to continue the series.
Okay. Let me preface that I saw the movie before I read the book. I really enjoyed the movie, and I didn't WANT to see it first before I read the book, but I'm glad I did, because I enjoyed it more.
Problems:
01] Our main character, Thomas, was flat. WHY
I found Newt and Chuck and Minho and even Gally more exciting than Thomas. In the movie, Dylan O'Brien breathes life into Thomas's character and I thoroughly enjoyed him there.
02] Teresa in the book was again, terribly boring.
Why? Who knows. Again, I found her character more exciting in the movie than in the book.
03] A lot of words that didn't say a lot at all.
This book was over 300 pages. I'm still not sure why. I can understand suspense building, and the first 150 pages were pretty awesome at doing that. However, I found myself bogged down by words. Repeating the same thing over and over. And over.
Which is all really sad, because I really wanted to enjoy this book much more than I did.
I'm going to finish the trilogy, but from what I've seen and heard about the last two, I shouldn't get my hopes up.
Everything is sad.
