The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I have to admit I spent most of the day today finishing this book (shhhh don't tell my husband! I was supposed to be taking the Christmas stuff down!).
I loved it! I loved the writing - kept the pages turning. I loved Thomas and Newt and Teresa, and the others. I loved the concept which is:
Thomas "wakes" up in an elevator type lift and is pulled into the "glade" - a large area surrounded by walls, full of other boys around his age, and all of them suffering memory loss - he has no idea of any of his history, his last name, or why he's there.
What follows is lots of intrigue - why are they there, what is the Maze really?
This is the first book in a trilogy, and I absolutely can't wait for the next one!!

This sounds good! Do you know when the next in the trilogy is coming out?
according to the author's website, THE SCORCH TRIALS (Book 2 of MAZE is scheduled for Oct 2010)
It must have been a good one, to keep you away from taking down decorations...
