This book summed up before i really go into it is about a group of boys who pass out one day and wake up in a totally different place. They dont remember who they are or how they got to the place theyre at. They only remember their name but it takes a few days for them to remember. They have to work together to survive and are basically living outside a maze. The name Maze runner means, a person who runs into the maze and tries to find a way out.

He is immediately bullied by another character who eventually dies. The boys were forced to start farming and create a small working town for them. As to how they got the seeds and how they ate meat, i dont know.

A maze runner is someone who runs in, they have to be fast and very athletic because inside the maze are unknown creatures. The maze runners also need to remember where they went and how to get out because the maze changes every night. Shifts different and no path is the same. The only creature they see in the maze are called grievers and are described as robotic spiders basically. They are huge and have sharp claws. If you get cut by one you get infected and basically turn into a psychopath with rabies. You try to kill everyone. So their goal is to get knowledge on the maze without being attacked.

When Thomas arrived, his "job" was to care for the garden however, he wanted to be a maze runner. One day one of his friends went into the maze and was attacked. He couldnt walk right because the griever got his leg but his friend minho who is also a maze runner, was also in there with him trying to help him get out. But Minho and the hurt friend couldnt get out before the maze started to close because the maze opens and closes like clockwork. So Thomas ran in to help them. He and the friends survived the night and later became a maze runner.

One day, the box that they arrive in came up and a girl was in it. They boys were shocked because they hadnt seen a girl in years. They were flabbergasted. She however, came with a message for Thomas. Which had the boys completely confused. Thomas didnt even know who she was.

So basically, the grievers flood their little civilization because one day the maze didnt close and many people died. They found a bar-code and location on the griever after they killed one so they figured they killed all the grievers and it was safe to venture inside. They got to the end of the maze and there was a door. So they entered. Cliff Hanger.
