If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
 
Remember. Survive. Run.

As with most books that were later adapted to movies, this story is much more indepth and fleshed out than it’s silver screen version, with MUCH more backstory on WICKD and what’s going on in the world outside of the maze. That being said, the movie had absolutely nothing about what was going on until the last 15 seconds, and even then it was a confusing mess of wtf. This book was a decent read, much easier to follow along with than The Hunger Games, and I’m happy they seem to be doing well as movies.
