The Maze Runner series

Have you guys heard of this series? It's called the Maze Runner by James Dashner and it's pretty good. I have had to be on the waiting list at the library for the first and second one for a good while before I got them. They are that popular.  I THOUGHT that the newest and final book wasn't going to come out till December. I thought "oh that's okay by the time I get the second one it will be close to that time." Come to find out that it came out last week! and I just finished the second one. I am wanting it but am unfortunately hold #150 out of 268. So I may not even get it till December anyways. =)

So these books are actually pretty cool. They are a little bit like Hunger Games in the sense that's it's this futuristic type scenario and it's a bit gory at places. But you end up being a little more sad about the deaths because you grow to like the people more, and they aren't "supposed" to die like in the Hunger Games.

In the first one it starts with a guy named Thomas coming into the Glade as they call it with all boys and  his memory wiped with  no idea about anything. They teach him the ways of the Glade and he tries to understand it. Then the next day a GIRL comes and brings a message " The end is coming." Everyone freaks out because a girl has never come before and the adventure begins.

This is the second one in the series and honestly a bit more scary then the first. The first is more of a mystery while this one was just creepy. These people have this disease called the "Flare" That supposedly turns you slowly insane. Let's just say I didn't read this one alone at work. You learn more about the trials and what is going on. I read this one super fast, I had to know how it was going to end.

Now the last one. Once I found out that it was already out I had to go and check it out online. After work I came home and read the first 3 chapters from the online excerpt that they had. It's going to be madness! The mysteries and anger that you feel for the WICKED people is all coming to surface now and all our questions will be answered. 

So if you liked Hunger Games you might like this series. One thing that was slightly annoying was that they had  made up slang words but they were very close to the real slang/swear words so sometimes my brain would just read the other words, whoops. But it is a bunch of teenager boys so there ya go.
