Book Recommendation: Maze Runner Trilogy

I strongly recommend the Maze Runner Trilogy to anyone who has read or seen the Hunger Games. There are 4 books in the series including The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, and a prequel called The Kill Order. The books are about a boy named Thomas who wakes up in a trance and knows nothing of his background. He is forced to cope with the people around him who have had the same experience he has, and together they go on a quest to find out more about themselves. Personally, I like these books because there is a cliff hanger at the end of every chapter, making the book hard to put down. If you enjoy action like I do, you would like these books because there is lots of action throughout the stories and it is so intense the reader is always on the edge of their seat. The author of these books is James Dashner, and he uses a lot of imagery in his books. His writing is so advanced that I can picture every little detail of the setting and I literally feel like I am looking through the main character's eyes. If I had to rate the series on a scale of 10, I would give it a 9.9. The only bad part of the series is the characters use different language that is hard to decipher when you first begin reading. It is hard to tell what goes on at first, but once you become interested you will start to learn their language and everything will be clear. I hope you will enjoy the Maze Runner Trilogy as much as I did!

  2. I agree with your statement at the very beginning of the post, comparing it to the Hunger Games is a great connection based off how you described it.
