    If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s trapped inside a military base, surrounded by thousands of hungry zombies. Armed only with a battle suit and a smart-ass A.I. named Slade, Nick sets off across a post-apocalyptic America where he discovers a group of hot warrior women who are only too eager to “assist” him in battling the dead, and reaching a hidden government vault that may hold the secret to reversing the plague that ended the world. WARNING: I’m not a huge fan of fades to black, so would it surprise you to learn that this book’s intended for those over the age of 18 who like over-the-top action, zombie craziness, hot warrior women, cool snarky characters, and lots of haremy (yes, that’s a real word) adult situations? Probably not, so if you like those things, and I’m guessing you do, suck it up, strap in, and get ready for Pox Americana, Book 1.

    Award-winning author James Dashner’s The Maze Runner shows the influences of the author’s broad reading. It relates the story of the amnesiac Thomas as he is forced into the near-bucolic setting of the Glade, learns to navigate it and the labyrinthine Maze surrounding it and leads the people of the Glade from their bounded world into a broader outside world. It also presents a perspective on adolescence well worth discussing which this Analysis covers every detail that you would otherwise miss. The Maze Runner has features that recommend it for both adolescent readers and those who teach them which this Summary & Analysis helps to decipher increasing your understanding of the book more than ever. The former will find the dialogue and action engaging without neglect of character development. The latter will find a text that manages to play with the tropes of Golding’s Lord of the Flies (which Dashner reports as a direct influence on the book), offering a way to introduce that text and a venue for discussion of it. They present opportunities for readers to engage with underlying assumptions and attitudes, offering the chance for readers to understand themselves, the culture in which they live and the culture in which the writer writes which this Analysis covers. Each is a chance to better understand the world, and The Maze Runner does well to make such chances available. The book is well worth reading, both for its intended audience of young adults (inside and outside the classroom) and for a more general reading public. This Analysis of The Maze Runner fills the gap, making you understand more while enhancing your reading experience.
