The Maze Runner

This is an okay book written by James Dashner. Thomas awakes on an elevator with no memory of anything except his own first name. The elevator leads Thomas to a glade surrounded by stone walls. There he’s greeted by a slew of other children, all of them also missing their memories and all of them boys. Every day stone doors open, revealing a complex maze that surrounds the glade, and every evening they close. Life seems fairly routine for Thomas and these children until the elevator delivers a young girl with a powerful message. This is the first book of a trilogy.
