The Maze Runner Term 2- Review 2

Maze Runner

For my second report I chose to do The Maze Runner by James Dashner, and Cole reviewed this last term.  Cole, in your report you say that the author always described things in great detail and I totally agree with you on that.  Every page there was a significant amount of detail that just flew at me. You also say that you were always trying to think ahead in the book and still got surprised at what happened.  I have to say that this book was very unpredictable and I agree with you there. I also felt that the book was a rollercoaster of emotions and I to found myself reading it for hours on end.  You say that when reading it you felt it was missing something like more character personalities.  I also do feel that way; I found that the author could have gave the characters more personality as most of them are static characters.

I chose to read this book because I heard that there was a lot of action and mystery in it and those are the kind of books I generally read.  I would say the antagonists are the creators because they created the maze and there trying to stop the kids from getting out, and the protagonist would be Thomas because he is trying to find a way out and save everyone from the glade.  The glade is the type of setting where you don’t really know where they are because the author doesn’t give much detail on the glade other then that its surrounded by huge walls.  But I think that the time period of the book would more in the future but you also don’t get much on that because all the kids in the glade don’t remember anything.  Overall this was an exciting thriller with twists on every page and I can’t wait to read the sequel.
