Mazes and Runners

Challenge #3 - Pick up the book you are reading right now and think about a way to tell us a little about it - through pictures. Create a blog post and link it here using the Mr. Linky.

I am currently reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner. While I really like it, I'm only a few chapters into the book. I don't know a whole lot yet but it begins when a sixteen(ish) age boy named Thomas is lifted into a world, surrounded by a stone wall without any remembrance about who he is or where he came from.

He finds he is only one of many other young males, all trapped inside the walls in a place they call the Glade. Beyond the walls is a maze that is huge and impassible. They say it changes at night.  Designated "runners" are sent through the maze trying to find the way out, but so far not one has managed to do it. 

At night, the walls close and the boys are trapped inside, however it also keeps the "Grievers" inside the maze as well. From my impression, the "Grievers" are slimy deadly creatures with spikes that kill and they sound a lot like the black smoke on LOST (the TV show). If it attacks you, you could die - only a serum can save you. However, if you don't make it before the doors shut, it is said you will most certainly die. Thomas wants to be a runner. It terrifies him and yet, he can't leave the idea alone.

So that's about all I know right now! And if those pictures weren't enough to convince you to read it, check out this trailer! Gives me chill bumps!  In fact, after watching it again, I'll now be shutting my laptop and going to read. Ciao~! 

(An update from the morning after I wrote this: OMG!!!  I stayed up forever reading and now half way through the book. GO. GET. THIS. BOOK. NOW!)
