Book one in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.
The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The third movie, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit screens in 2018.
Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat MORTALITY DOCTRINE series!

it is sssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome I LOVE IT :). cool @ yolo I dnt know any book that's better its so good ;) :-) :-) :-)
Don't even get me started on ow much I LOVED these books. My favorite character was Minho because he was so sassy even in the worst of situations.
deciding to read these books was one of the best decisions of my life.
This book was soooooooo good. Officially a fandom
This book is full of adventure and lots of action! It's definitely way better than the movie, but it's still good! Totally recommend you to read it if you haven't already.
I love this book! I was looking for another action and adventure book and this was spot on! I love the adventure and how the characters figure out ways to get out of The Maze. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
This book contains lots of action. I liked this book because it's all about a puzzle to get out of the maze. I would recommend this book to people who love action thrillers.
I really liked this book! At first, it might seem a little confusing, but it all unfolds afterwards into a detail-filled story. The characters are so unique and different, I especially like Thomas! I recommend this book to people who enjoyed the Hunger Games and Percy Jackson.
I read this book and it is really good I cannot stop reading it. It is a little sad though
