The Maze Runner is sitting at the top of the bestseller list because dystopian young adult literature is da bomb right now. What is The Maze Runner About and Why Should I Care? This book will fly through your brain as though your eyeballs have magically discovered a way to project a movie that is directly translated from words on a page.
The Maze Runner is perfect for someone who loves to read but doesn't like to be reminded by long words and difficult premises that they're reading. This book has everything: action, adventure, hybrid monsters called Grievers that resemble a cross between boogers and the Terminator, and even a budding romance. The best part of a series, after all, is that you can delay the my-book-is-over-how-is-the-world-still-spinning depression that sets in after a particularly good read is over. (See the list here.)

Well, that's what happens to our protagonist Thomas in The Maze Runner, written by James Dashner and published in 2009.ĭescribed as " Lord of the Flies meets Ender's Game meets Holes" by Dashner himself, The Maze Runner is Dashner's first attempt at conquering a national market with his writing.
Ever had a really rough morning where you wake up in a dingy elevator and can't remember how you got there, or anything else? And then you find yourself in a fight for your life during a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future?
