READING THURSDAY!!!
I finished The Maze Runner by James Dashner last night. This was another Dystopian novel but didn’t feature any romance unlike Divergent and The Hunger Games (if that is what you call romance); except I sensed there could be a love story brewing sooner or later in the series.
The Maze Runner is about a young 16 year old guy named Thomas. His first appears coming out of a box into a land filled with about 60 boys. He has no memory of anything but feels like he knows that he has been to this place before.
This area is ran by young boys who can sense that where they live is not the real world Connected to the area is a maze. The boys believe this maze is their only way out. You are only allowed in the maze during the day because at night the walls to the maze close and evil animal/machines come out and kill. They can never figure out how to leave the maze because every day the walls change. Seems hopeless.
The boys have no memory about where they came from either. They all try to make a living in this area. Some are farmers, janitors, and a select few are maze runners (they run the maze every day trying to find a way out.) Their main goal in their life is to figure out how to get out.
A lot of stuff starts to happen the second Thomas shows up….and that is where I will leave it. Will Thomas escape? Yup – that is the only thing I’ll talk about! I don’t want to give anything else away. I think the description on the back of the book gives away too much.
"My name is Thomas, he thought
That...that was the only thing he could remember about his life....he didn't know where he came from, or how he'd gotten inside the dark lift, or who his parents were. He didn't even know his last name."
"The walls slammed shut behind him, the echo of its boom bouncing off the ivy-covered stone like mad laughter"
-The Maze Runner, James Dashner
I just started the Scorch Trials! I am excited! Maybe there will be a hint of love? I love action/scary books but it is also nice to have some soft moments.
The third book – The Death Cure comes out October 11, 2011 – The day before Matt and I leave for Orlando – Hello plane book!
I had a good friend, Miranda, ask me which she series she should read first – The Hunger Games or Harry Potter. My thoughts?
Harry Potter all the way. Those 7 books make me smile. I love his story. You have got to read these books first and then watch the movies. They are not as good as the books but they sure are entertaining.
If you are looking to get the books at the library - that is wonderful! If you want to buy them http://www.borders.com/ is going out of business and they have a lot of books from 20-40% off! With Harry Potter I want all of the books so my kids can read and fall in love with Harry, Ron, and Hermoine.
Anyways, I am on some new medication. The only side effect is loss of appetite and an upset stomach. I have been getting this alot. I had it bad yesterday after I got home. Around 6pm I went to lay down on the stomach in our bed. This was the only thing that felt good. I passed out and woke up at 7:30pm - walked Presley, and then went right back to bed. It felt so good to sleep since I only got 5 and a half hours of sleep yesterday. Hopefully the upset stomach will go away. I can handle the loss of appetite but having an upset stomach is a killer.
