Hello! My name is Chie. I am likely to be the girl you'll see whose eyes would bulge out of their sockets at the sight of a book store and be seized by waves of epileptic shock whenever there is a book bargain. I'll probably be the one pushing you out of my way to get through the book bargain bins and tediously combing through the pile. (I forget my manners when it comes to books). I am tone deaf and have two left feet. But I would endure the embarrassment of a performance in exchange for books (terms and conditions apply). I have created this blog in order to find kindred souls. Those who would gladly share the same passion for books and reading because although reading is solitary task most of the time, it's no fun having no one to ramble to after..
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.
Review: What made me read this book is because of its unique premise and story line. I never thought of being trapped inside a huge maze, and forced to live there for a long time. Thinking about it makes me cringe, and scared because what will happen if you get stuck in that maze, right?
"Looks like a maze," Thomas whispered, almost laughing to himself. As if things couldn't have gotten any stranger. They'd wiped his memory and put him inside a gigantic maze. It was all so crazy but it really did seem funny. -Chapter 4, p. 26.
The story is well-written, I like how Dashner illustrate the whole setting of the story, in fact he really described it in a more accurate and specific way which really helped me to form a mental image or somehow, to visualise the concept of the whole plot of the story.
He glanced upward again, half expecting it to have changed back to normal. But it was all gray. Not cloudy, not twilight, not the early minutes of dawn. Just gray. The sun had disappeared. -Chapter 34, p. 218
The story also has that mood and it has that different kind of perspective when it comes to the characters. They're using words which we called "Glader's slang" like shanks, shuck-face, klunk, slim-it, slinthead and etc.
All I can is WOW! This novel did not disappoint me, well the movie adaptation does... because the story was alot more different in the film. (It has always been the issue. What's new?) It's a way too scary than the film because the details of the story was delivered in a more precise way. I imagined myself standing in the middle of the Glade, surrounded by the Griever's. I also imagined Minho saving me from them. It's not that I don't like Thomas, but Minho's much more attractive for me.
My heart aches for Chuck's death. He's one of the characters that I love next to Minho.
The Maze Runner is now my favourite dystopian novel. If you haven't read it, you're missing half of your life already Shanks!
