The Maze Runner: Thoughts III

 Conflict really starts brewing. This kid- named Ben- was attacked by these beasts known as Grievers that attacked anyone that is left in the maze, and lets just say he isn't like what he was before. When Thomas went out to check the woodland/cemetery section and gets ambushed by the psycho Ben himself . Thomas was saved by a leader named Alby who took Ben into custody. Later that evening Ben was banished into the maze to be killed in a such a horrific way I cannot describe; you have to read it for yourself.

Ben attacks Thomas out of nowhere. Psychotic much?  

 All the while for the first time a girl appears from the box and reveals some important news: "Everything is going to change." and blacked out along with a note: "She's the last one. Ever." No more needs to be said.

Along with more minor things, such as a Runner finding a dead Griever, this book has taken an eerie turn. I mean, I never brought this up, but what happened to Thomas at the beginning? I know he was but in "the box" to take him up to the Glade, but what about before that? Was he drugged? Was he paid to do this or was by brute force? Tell me what you guys think. I predict that this is some sort of experiment by researchers. Why and what it is for still seems unknown to
me.

The Maze Runner: Thoughts II

Further on in the book, more questions are answered:

What does Glade exactly look like? It's a courtyard split into four quartiles: farming, livestock, homestead (indoor rooms and facilities), and a forest/graveyard of the boys that have past away.

What's in store for Thomas? After his tour he will cycle through all the jobs Glade has to offer and stick to the one that he's best at; as of right now his dream is to got out into the maze as a runner. Where have I heard those words together before?

Anything else? An alarm had just went off warning everyone that another person is coming in like Thomas, but that only occurs every month and this happened in just one day later...

This book really has me hooked and stay tuned for more. It really does seem to have tons of conspiracy material within it. This book really leaves you with a load of questions on what is REALLY happening underneath the surface level of Glade. I always ask myself while I read, "Who even made this place?" and "Who is watching them? Is this some kind of experiment?" I hope this will be revealed one of these day: and can form something great, because this really can be the next big thing. (Now that I think about it... It kind of already is!)

In fact this is such a good book you should give it a try and buy it here:
