                   I am excited to say that I have finished The Maze Runner! I did find this book very good! At the end of the book there was a MAJOR plot twist that made the entire book come together! So since the last time I read the book the boys threw Ben into the Maze to die because he was stung by the griever. After that you meet Minho. He is the leader of the runners. Also there is Alby who is Minho's good friend. They both go into the maze to try and trace Bens steps. As they both travel through the maze Alby is stung by a griever. Minho tries to bring Alby to the entrance of the maze to get him out, but the maze doors are already closing on them. As Thomas cant watch anymore he runs in after them, trying to help save them. The door then closes them in, causing them to spend the night in the maze...


                 The next day the three boys return from the maze, this makes all the other boys astonished by what they have just done! As the boys were in the maze they were able to find some routes that would help them escape later on. Thomas one again runs into the maze, but now the others follow. The boys travel through the entire maze to make it to a code that requires a password. Minho knows the password from the maze patterns. The door opens to a lab that is filled with dead bodies of scientists. A video is then showed to the boys of a women that congratulates them on making it through the maze. She then tells them that the planet has been destroyed by solar activity. As the lab that the women is being attacked in she shoots herself in the head. A group of armed men come into the lab that the boys are in to take them away in a helicopter. The helicopter then brings them over the maze and to a desert. The women that appeared to shoot herself is not really dead, and she calls out that the experiment that they had just completing was a success and that the boys are now going to enter phase two...


              This book was very intriguing! I especially loved the ending. It added a twist that made the book 10x better! I am glad to hear that this book will become a sequel, and that there are more books to come! I am excited to see what happens in Phase Two of the next book! I recommend this to anyone who likes a good spine-chilling novel!
