I have to admit that before reading James Dashner's book I did not know much about the effects nor consequences of being an amnesiac. But this superlative book and story about Thomas the amnesiac had me riveted with suspense and interest from the first page to the last page of the story. Finding himself awake in a metal box and suffering from substantial memory loss and a loss of identity the protagonist opens another box above and enters into a mystical maze which surrounds the Glade. This Community is akin to a bounded world which is encapsulated or insulated from the greater outside world and presents a very interesting milieu for Thomas to navigate through, around, in and out in his attempts to find a way through the maze as well as around the rifts, chasms, gaps and holes in his own persona and memory which is at best fragmentary and disunited as per Freudian psychoanalysis and the Id and Super-ego mechanism. I brilliant story and Highly Recommended.
