Book Review: Maze Runner

The Maze Runner by James Dashner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An excellent novel for young adolescence. It easily depicts the struggles of a young boy. Themes such as the need for a sense of belonging, normalcy, desiring friendships, and proving oneself. In the novel we are introduced to the character, Thomas, a young teenage boy with his memories wiped and found himself in a prison-like structure surrounded by a maze.

The novel is very relatable to young boys and girls and can easily be taught in school, or simply given as a present for your favourite niece or nephew. As for myself, I might teach it in my elementary classes in the coming years. Fascinating read and would highly recommend it.

Eagerly excited for the next instalment, The Scorch Trials.
