In honor of the Maze Runner movie, which comes out in the United States on September 19th, I've decided to review the book and sum it up for those of you who plan on seeing the movie first.  This is most definitely a book I have read before, three times actually, so I like to think I know what I'm talking about. One of the great things about this book is that it's all narrated from the main character Thomas's point of view.  This is also an annoying aspect of the book because when we first meet Thomas, he's 99.9% clueless about what is going on.  So we learn things and meet people as Thomas does. From what I've heard (thanks to interviews with the cast and such being on YouTube), we can expect the same viewpoint in the movie, learning things as Thomas learns them.  If you haven't read the book, prepare for total confusion-slash-curiousity. The book starts off with a boy (Thomas) who is trapped in a metal box.  He doesn't know how he got there, he do...

Image found on Google Beth Bradley is running away.  Beth is running from her distant father and traitorous best friend; she is also running towards something else, a change at a better life.  More specifically, Filius, the crown prince of London's underworld.  The underworld where glassy spiders can steal voices and nursemaids form from piles of garbage.  Electricity dances and railwraiths terrorize the trains in the underworld. Beth and Filius travel across the prince's realm, gathering an army to battle Filius' mother's greatest foe.  Reach, the god of demolition, is after Filius.  When Beth's best friend is taken, and her (Beth's) father joins the ranks of Filius' army while searching for his daughter, Beth must choose between her new life in the underworld, or the old life she left behind.
