Thomas is a teenager who wakes up one day in a service elevator that deposits him in the Glade, a section of land with a farm and a house, that just happens to be located in the middle of the maze. The maze is also populated with scary slug-like creatures known as Grievers who come out at night to feed. Thomas has no memory of his life before waking up in the elevator, as does anyone else. The Glade is populated entirely with young men, until the day that a girl pops up in the Glade; a girl who has some unknown special connection to Thomas. I read this because I plan to see the movie when it comes out in Septemeber. This is an excellently written, edge of your seat thriller which will leave you wanting more. I can't wait to read the sequel.
