The Maze Runner is the first book I read by James Dashner, and I am honestly surprised I like it as much as I do. I thought I was going to hate it, and I was a little reluctant to read it. But I am so glad I read it! 
 At first, the story was very confusing. I was very lost and almost quit reading it. But then I got to the middle, and everything just seemed to come together perfectly! And I just could not put it down! I found everything in the story exciting. 
 And then the ending. It was so amazing! I can't stop thinking about it. Now I need to read the next book! It was just that good.
