(DLA Las Piñas HS LRC) September Book of the Month - The Maze Runner

Perfect for fans of Divergent and Hunger Games, maybe even The Selection and Lost, we present you with this month's heart-pounding and thought-provoking New York Times bestseller feature from award-winning writer, James Dashner, whose film adaptation will be hitting film theatres everywhere in the world around the first few weeks of this month and no, it's not just another dystopian novel.

The Maze Runner is proper different, in the way that the book is narrated in a guy protagonist's point of view unlike the aforementioned novels whose stories were primarily narrated in a girl's words. Also, a noticeable fictionalized slang is present, adding more realism to the characterizations.

Through an elevator, a confused Thomas is brought into the Glade. The place is surrounded by a gigantic limitless ever-changing Maze in which maniacal part animal part mechanical beasts roam at night, huge doors all around the Glade protect the residents from these creatures by closing every time the day ends.

Thomas has no memories of his life or the world outside, the only thing he remembers is his name. Devoid of adults, he and a lot of other teenage boys are inside the place where there is a makeshift community in which everyone is assigned to his own job while supplies are brought every week.

However, the day after Thomas is brought to the Glade, a girl is sent. This is when everything does finally just snap and change, thus beginning a desperate end game for the Gladers. It starts out slow as the main character has to adapt but every suspenseful scene afterwards are exclamation-worthy.
