In honour of the Scorch Trial Movie (which
is in theatres now) I’m gonna be reviewing The Maze Runner Series today.
First of all: By now I didn’t watch any movie of TMR and I didn’t read The Kill Order (the first prequel of the series) either. And, of course, I’m
trying to avoid spoilers (my gosh, how much do I hate spoilers...).
Called The
Maze Runner, book one is telling the beginning of Thomas’ story. He wakes
up having no memory except his name. He then is pulled out of the elevator he
was in by Minho, Alby and Newt, the leaders of a group of boys. They tell him
that they’re in a huge maze and the Glade, the place that they’re currently at,
is kind of their home. Thomas also discoveres that every week a new Glader is
arriving but for two years all attempts to solve the maze failed. On the next
day something extraordinary occurs:
Theresa, the first girl ever, comes with the elevator and says before
falling into a coma that everything is about to change. A note in her hand also
tells the group that she will be the last one ever who joins them. A battle
against time and the Grievers (that are giant monster machines) begins and the
only way to survive is escaping the maze…
So my summary is not as short as I thought
it will be but I hope nobody minds. The first thing that pops in my mind when
thinking about TMR is amazing. I
enjoyed reading the whole series so much. I love the transformation they all do
during the series (especially Thomas, Theresa and Chuck), the mix between total
confusion, desperation and hope (I guess those words describe the first book
pretty good) and don’t even get me started about the boys… Newt, Minho and
Thomas are some of my favourite characters of all time (You can imagine that
I’m not fine with a special scene near the end… #actullycryingrightnow) and I
just enjoyed reading about them.
So you can tell now that I’m crazy in love
with those books and that I can totally just recommend them!!
