The Maze Runner
A Book by James Dashner
Book Review
Year in and year out, I keep a list of books that I try to reread every year due to the impact they have had on my literary journey through life. This book remains at the top of this list every year. It has it all. It has a deep and interesting plot that won't stop developing long enough for you to put it down. It has a riveting conflict and unforgettable characters. If your looking for a great action book with a taste of science fiction and intrigue, The Maze Runner is for you.
Bravery
"Thomas knew he had no choice. He moved. Forward. He squeezed past the connecting rods at the last second and stepped into the Maze. The walls slammed shut behind him, the echo of its boom bouncing off the ivy-covered stone like mad laughter"
Friendship
“I promised him!" he screamed, realizing even as he did so that his voice was laced with something wrong. Almost insanity. "I promised I'd save him, take him home! I promised him!”
Death
". . Thomas hugged Chuck to his chest, squeezed him as tightly as possible, as if that could somehow bring him back, or show thanks for saving his life, for being his friend when no one else would."
