The Maze Runner by James Dashner is a compelling book that has you on the edge of your seat while reading. This book is about a young scrawny boy named Thomas who tries to escape and area called "The Glade" which is in a maze. This book details his adventure in this strange, new, unfamiliar place. James Dashner does an amazing job with the imagery and describing his experiences as if they were your own. I was compelled immediately with this book because it got straight to the point and was an interesting read. The Maze Runner is part of a trilogy so there are more books that increasingly draw your attention. It has interesting plot twists that leave your jaw hanging and drooling for more.
