The Maze Runner is a New York Times Bestseller by James Dashner. It's the first installment to The Maze Runner Trilogy.
Summary (Short) Sixteen-year-old Thomas wakes up with no memory in the middle of a maze and realizes he must work with the community in which he finds himself if he is to escape.
I just recently finished the book. When I neared the end, the first word that came to mind was, "Wow,". After that, "Oh my goodness." I seriously recommend this novel.
If you enjoyed 'The Hunger Games', you might want to check this book out.
To get you more interested, here's a more detailed summary.
When Thomas wakes up, he can only remember his first name. No other recollections of his parents, friends, or his childhood.
He is greeted by boys called the Gladers. They were expected his arrival; A new boy is sent through the Box once a month, the same day and time. But the next day, when, strangely, a girl is sent, the Gladers start to get suspicious. Her arrival was a turning point for the semi-peaceful lifestyle in the Glade (if hiding behind massive walls from man-made animal-machine monsters with only hope and pure willpower to keep you going is peaceful, then yes), when they read the disturbing note she brought with her...
I'll leave it to you Greenies to read and find out!
Also, following The Maze Runner, is The Scorch Trials, and The Death Cure.
Warnings for Greenies: -If you dislike slang with a passion of a thousand suns, beware of the dialouge! The Gladers have practically created a language of their own!
-Don't forget to pack the tissues- This book is a real tear-jerker! -The Maze Runner is not for the faint of heart. It contains scenes with blood, mild language (There's no actual cursing), death, and graphic violence.
