The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Reviewed by S. Cox, September 2021

Sixteen year old Thomas wakes up in a dark underground elevator with no memory of his life before that moment, and arrives at what the other boys there call ‘the Glade’. No one remembers how they got there, why they’re there, or who they used to be. They just know that once every month the lift doors open and a new boy is dumped into their midst, with no memories other than his first name. Supplies are sent up every two weeks and there are livestock, so they won’t starve.
