Over the past year I have really gotten into Young Adult Literature (YAL). Last week I read a wonderful book called The Maze Runner. It reminded me a lot of Ender’s Game which is why I think I was drawn into the book so quickly. The premise is that a group of kids are trapped in a community that is surrounded by a maze. The story details their work ethic, survival skills and the development of their community on the Glade. The maze is filled with obstacles and monsters that are a cross between nature and machines. The writer does a perfect job of divulging enough to keep readers interested while carefully withholding details to keep people on the edge of their seat.
I am now anxiously waiting for Kyle to finish the Scorch Trials so I can continue on the journey with Thomas in the second book in the series.
