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.

I loved this book!And I love how Thomas is in the box elavator in the begining.I was dissapointed that chuck died at the end just to save Thomas.
This book and the rest of the series is great!
Thomas wakes up in a box. He has no memory of his past. He thinks he is safe, but he soon learns otherwise. Surrounded by a maze, Thomas quickly turns the life of the other 'Greenies' around when the first girl ever arrives. Thomas and the others have to find a way out of the maze, and quickly, before the 'Grievers,' monsters in the maze, kill anyone else.
good movie
Some of my friends in middle school have been raving about the book and movie. They say that if you like Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and Divergent, you should really like this book.
I loved the movie and the book was really cool to
i think the movie is better than the book but the book is also good to. the movie is better because you can see the pictures and have a better understanding of it. PS best book and movie ever.
This book was sick. I was sad at first because I had seen the movie first, but there was a lot more detail in the book so it wasn't as "I know what's going to happen" as I thought it would be. Super good book and I bet the rest of the series is just as awesome!
