Review: The Maze Runner by James Dasher

I just finished this book and thought I would get the review done as quickly as possible before I forget what I have to say about it. I had high hopes for this book, since the hype surrounding it and the movie adaptation has been huge. Albeit I am a little late to the party, since the hype was at its highest a few months ago, I would say. But I finally got around to reading it and I have to say I was sorely disappointed. Beware of spoilers below!! I started reading and the story seemed like it would be suspenseful and full of exciting reveals and discoveries. It starts with a boy with no memory. He only remembers his name, Thomas. He is sent to a place full of boys just like him. The place is called the Glade and it sits inside a giant maze. The boys have been trying to escape this maze for two years, meanwhile building a functioning society. Thomas arrives and things start to change. This sounds like an amazing story, but about halfway through the book, I realized I was bored....
