Publisher's summary

Book one in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built! When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers - boys whose memories are also gone.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out - and no one’s ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.

The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure all are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat Mortality Doctrine series!

avid audiobook consumer

started out rushed but eased into a nice steady storyline. details were just enough to allow your mind to fill in the blanks. overall storyline was solid and had a good amount of desire to hear the next chapter.

the reader was sort of boring. Scott Brick would have been a much better decision and would have made the book 50x better. no offense to the current reader.

I love audiobooks and "audible"

I get made fun of because "I didnt read this book, it was read to me" but I dont even care. I get even more sucked in with audiobooks than anything else. next title I'll be getting is "the scorch trials" and the sequel to that and so on until there is no literature left unread by me.

obsessed..

No disrespect to the Narrator

The book was really good and very entertaining but it could have been even better with a different narrator. Don’t get me wrong, he did a great job, I just feel that someone could have done better. Some times it was hard to tell who was talking unless the book clarified.
