Summary:
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.
Book 1 - The Maze Runner; Book 2 - The Scorch Trials; Book 3 - The Death Cure.
Thoughts:
Hmm this series is definitely WORTH a read. Intense, exciting, a really good thriller. Book 1 is out in the theaters, but it's not what you would have pictured from the book. Trust me.
So I caught the movie before deciding on reading the book. Bad move. The pace and timing of events from the book was completely different from the movie. Let alone the details. But on the bright side, I finally understood the whole 'maze runner' idea in the right way and yes, the book was way better than the movie. As always.
In book 1, Alby did not die in the chaos from the grievers' destruction (from the movie). He died by volunteering himself up to save the rest and also because he didn't want to leave the glaze (from the book). Also, the escape was to jump off a cliff (from the book), not entering some hole (from the movie).
I was taken aback by Book 2. Thomas was supposed to be in love with Teresa from the before until Teresa betrayed him. She betrayed him to save him, but to Thomas, he felt that she could've fought back and tried to save him differently. That's where their love and trust burnt out. I felt the sadness from Teresa. Poor her.
Book 3 was ...... crazy. The ending was a little disappointing because I thought that Brenda would be the new variable. My heart dropped when Teresa died. It wasn't elaborated much which I'm thankful for, but I would've wanted her to be with Thomas. The downside of this book was the author didn't explain why Brenda knew about everything. It made me suspicious of her and at the end when she and Thomas was together, I couldn't feel happy. Happy ending, but could have been happier.
Be sure to read this series because it's good. If you're into Hunger Games, then you should not miss it. The movie was good too despite all the changes because they have to make it interesting, leaving out the dragginess.
