Book 4 - The Maze Runner

Synopsis: Thomas, a teenager, shows up in an unfamiliar place inhabited by 50 other young boys. He has no memories. The boys explain to him that they were all left there, one a month, and that they are surrounded by a giant maze filled with creatures that try to kill them. They spend their time trying to solve the maze and find a way home, even though none of them remember where home is.

The day after Thomas arrives, a girl shows up. She is there to start the ending of the maze. The book follows their time trying to work together to find a way out.

My thoughts:This had a very similar feel to the Hunger Games. It moved along quickly, and was very well thought out. My only problem with the book, was that the author decided that the boys should use fake swearwords, and should use them often. It was very annoying reading with the boys calling each other "shuckface," several times each page.
