It took me far too long to read this book. Getting into it was the hard part, immersing myself in the world Thomas found himself in, finding a way to become so caught up with it I couldn't stop reading. 
 Eventually, I did. 
 And that was when everything went wrong for Thomas, and right for me. 
 He doesn't know where he's from. He doesn't know where he is, much less how he got there. 
 Rushed into the world like he was hardly any interest to all the rest as a fly, he quickly learns that they are all just as unaware of the situation as he is, and with the help of a younger Glader, he finds a way to fit in. 
 And all he has to do to do this is run. 
 But what he's running from... 
 Could kill him. 
 But then, the next day, from the same Box he came from, something completely unheard of to all of the boys of the Glade emerges. Seemingly dead... But then opening eyes as blue as ice and announcing their fate. 
 A girl. 
 And then everything goes wrong. Carrying the messange of an Ending, as soon as she arrives, the sun disappears. But that's not the worst part. 
 The walls, the only things separating the boys of the Glade from the horrible beasts roaming a never ending Maze outside them... 
 They don't close. 
 And everyone gets shucked.
