Book Review: Maze Runner Series

The Maze Runner series is a trilogy centered around a boy named Thomas and his involvement with a futuristic government program.
In the first book, The Maze Runner, Thomas is sent to The Glade where all his memories have been wiped, leaving him not only disoriented but also the Newbie. Thomas meets the other Gladers and tries to adjust to his new life there. Then, something unexpected happens and the Gladers are forced to deal with everything thrown at them.
In the second book, The Scorch Trials, Thomas continues to deal with WICKED in a new environment that makes The Glade seem like a paradise. He's dealing with the loss of some friends from the Glade and the introduction of some Cranks that are helping the Gladers survive. In the end, Thomas has a falling out with a good friend because of an effort to save his life.
The third book, The Death Cure, breaks the mold of the first two in the same way that The Hunger Games trilogy's third book is different from the first two. In this book Thomas is finally coming face-to-face with WICKED and has decided not to let them play him anymore. As he and his friends search for a way to survive in a world full of Cranks, Thomas must face the reality that he may be the only way for the world to survive.

This series is definitely for mature audiences due to the graphic nature of some of the characters (especially in the second book...I almost stopped reading it myself). It is very fast-paced and keeps you guessing about what's going to happen. It is a very good series to read if you enjoyed The Hunger Games series.
