Reasons for a Fantastic Book and Effective Writing Style

Reason 1:
Throughout the entire book, there is a steady rate of intensity that keeps you on edge and craving for more.

Reason 2:
The author creates relatable and lovable characters you end up remaining attached to.

Reason 3:
While the main focus of the book is action, the author manages to give you great comedic relief, as well as a bit of romance between Thomas and another main character Theresa, without losing the effect of the tension but still giving you some relief.

Favorite Passage:
"Just follow me and run like your life depends on it. Because it does.”

This statement spoken by Minho really describes the entire book. It shows how their sole purpose in their lives at the time was to escape the maze, because if they failed to do so they would die.

Food Item: Dark Chocolate Brownies
I chose this because dark chocolate contains potent antioxidants called flavonols that can boost heart health. Dark chocolate is a food item that is said to help runners, which this book contains a lot of. Running is one of the main themes of the book.
