Maze Runner is a popular book by James Dashner. It's a book from a fixed third person view, in which the reader follows Thomas as he tries to figure out where he is, why, and how to escape. The New York Times bestseller has a large moving maze as the antagonist. I shall begin posting larger paragraphs in the next paragraph. (Warning: Spoilers.) Behold:
The first part is associated with Thomas getting a grip on where the heck he is. Waking up in a dark elevator with your mind wiped is not very helpful with that, but he slowly gets a idea of where he is, thanks to help from an annoyed Alby, a helpful Newt, and a talkative Chuck. He almost immediately gets into a fight with Gally, a 'keeper' of the builders who 'recognizes' him. He accidentally sees a boy who was 'stung' by one of the robotic Greavers and is quickly ushered out, and then goes of to the homestead and falls asleep.
The second part is when things begin going cuckoo. For the first time ever, a girl is sent up, the girl breaks the cycle of when people come up, she's in a coma, and she's the last one. Also, a 'dead' Griever is found. However, when Alby and Minho ('Keeper' of the runners) go to check it out, it 'stings' Alby and almost kills both of them. At the last moment, Thomas slips in, saves Alby, and then saves Minho. Gally accuses him of being a spy, and then disappears.
The third and final part is the end. The sun leaves, the doors don't close, the maze stops moving, and the Grievers go and kill one of the kids every night. Thomas figures out a code, then the kids make a final stand. In a large fight, Thomas, Chuck, and the girl jump into the Griever hole and enter in the code. The Grievers all shut off, and the exit opens. Gally reappears, and throws a knife at Thomas. Chuck takes the knife, and dies almost instantly. The survivors get rescued by a group, and the book ends.
Okay, that's it. Tada!
Adventure Van, out.
