Currently I am reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. At the beginning, this book was kind of boring and introducing you into the characters and what Glade, where the gladers live, is like.
Thomas wakes up in a metal elevator and all that he remembers is his name and has a general idea of what the world is like. He is pulled out by the leader of the gladers, Alby, and is introduced to this new world called Glade. I imagine Glade as a large circle with a few buildings that contain a cafeteria, restrooms, and a place for the gladers to stay. Glade is surrounded by a large maze that opens at a certain time every morning and closes at a certain time every night. During the night, the walls change in the maze and monsters that are called Grievers come out in the maze at night. If you are a maze runner, some one who runs in the maze everyday to find their way out of Glade, then you where a watch that tells how much time you have until the maze doors will close. No one that has been trapped in the maze for the night has ever made it out alive. The Grievers can sting you and make you go through a process called the changing where you remember some things form your past life. After Thomas's first day, the next day all the gladers are alerted that new glader has come. Not only is it rare that this glader came within the same week as Thomas, but she was a girl. Thomas feels a connection to this girl that he never thought he would feel. Thomas somewhat recognizes her form his past life. Thomas nowhas a sudden urge to become a maze runner.
