About this listen

When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze.

Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.

I loved this book
best experience with any book I've ever had
a must read.. or listen haha

I love the voices of the characters
at first the female voices are odd but u eventually get used to it, the descriptions and voices aloud for a vivid image to been drawn in my head of what is going on , definitely going to get the second book!!

I had watched the movie and as typical with any movie from a Novel - I wanted to see if there was more to the book - there is of course - I recommend the audio book for sure!

Enjoyable teen novel

I intended to listen to this book casually before I went to see the movie. But I found it extremely intense because it was full of questions, and you are kept on the edge of your seat as it unfolds. it was full of suspense, it's not overly complicated in language or profound in the way some books are, it's just enjoyable. And I plan to it listen again.

a Hitchcock book.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Maze Runner to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version but wanted to listen to the book before watching the film….very glad I did!

What did you like best about this story?

…as the story was amazing and kept me interested right through to the final word

What does Mark Deakins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The fact you don't realise someone is reading to you. His narration was excellent - I knew the characters and just listened to the story

Any additional comments?

I was confused by the reviews saying there was only half a book and assumed this had been corrected as there appeared to be a book one and two. What I didn't realise is that this is part 1 of a 3 part series [Scorch Trials here we come] There's also a prequel that isn't on audio yet….hint hint audible.

First in a SERIES!

The Maze Runner was our family road trip audio book. It really did make the miles fly by. Daddy loved the romantic tension. Neve lived Newt. Camryn liked the cliffhanger chapters. Mummy liked the way nobody complained about the car trip.

Great story, well read except for girl voices

I'm straight into the next one. It was really hard to put this down. 2nd book picks up right as this one ends so make sure you have it ready :)

Fast paced and interesting
