The Maze Runner

Finally got into The Maze Runner series. The first book is about a boy  whose memory has been completely wiped out. He can't remember his family or where he came from. All he knows is that his name is Thomas. Thomas is brought to a place called the Glade, a community surrounded by a giant maze where vicious creatures called Grievers roam. With him are 50 other teenage boys who also have no recollection of their previous lives. Every month a new boy is brought to the Glade through a lift. However, a few days after Thomas arrives a girl is sent up. With her she brings a message that turns the boys' world crashing down.

I actually liked this a lot more than the Hunger Games (don't get me wrong Katniss Everdeen is amazing!) The story didn't slow down at all and I was kept on edge throughout the entire book. A must read for fans of The Hunger Games trilogy!
