The Maze Runner

Source

The title says it all. Again, I am a little behind time posting about this because I want to complete reading the whole series before deciding to write up. It is a good book. It kept me hooked, making it hard for me to decide whether I want to continue to read it or to sleep and continue the next day. It is really hard!

I just get so lost in the book, and throughout the whole book, I paid attention to one, and only one character! I will just jump in and say it right away. Newt. Yes, even before I know who is going to play the part of Newt, I fell in love with the character anyway. The main reason why I got all excited about the movie is because Dylan is in it. Well, we all know how much I freaking love Teen Wolf, and how much I adore Stiles, so that explains it all. I have watched it like 3 times and I still am not tired of it. I don’t know why, but Newt is just well, nice? I don’t know how else to put it. While reading the second book, The Scorch Trials, I am just relieved to know that Newt survived along with the other Gladers, even though some died. The third book, The Death Cure however broke my heart to bits, those who read, knows that some of them are not Immune to a virus called The Flare. I was crushed, and I was so into the book that I actually cried. Yup, I cried knowing the death of one of my favourite characters.

Alby - The Leader

Named after Albert Einstein, he is the leader of the Gladers and one of the first member sent to the glade. He did an absolutely good job guiding the Gladers. Getting stung by the griever and getting flashes of memory, but still, he knows he can trust Thomas. Sadly, he sacrificed himself to the grievers in order to save his friends. 

Newt-The Glue

Named after Isaac Newton, he was formerly a runner until he got injured. Well, those who read the book will know why and how it happened. I got so emotional towards the end of the third book because we all know what happened to Newt and I was so devastated, yes devastated when I found out that he had the flare, and he is not immune to it. Well, one request from him is to prevent his condition from getting worse was a request from Thomas. It is really heartbreaking. I know it is just a book, but I get affected when something happens to the character that I like.

Newt is being played by actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster. I had no idea at first that he was this little cute guy from Love Actually. I watched that twice and had to watch it the third time to see it for myself. Also, if you have yet to watch Nowhere Boys, you have to. It is a good movie! I mean look at him, that smile and all.

Gally

Named after Galileo, he just does not trust Thomas from the start, also being the villain. I find it a bit weird for Will to play the role of Gally just because he is just so mean and I picture someone with an angry face? Okay, maybe his face is fierce-looking but I don’t know, I just can’t picture Will to be that way, because have you seen We’re the Millers? He is funny in that and that movie is hilarious! Will did a great job at it and it is hard to stay in tune with him being the fierce looking tough guy. Nevertheless, he did a great job at it and while the book makes some of us angry towards him, in the movie however, they tried to tone him down. I wish they hadn't though. I would love to see Gally as what he is in the book. But we all know that they have to change it up a bit to suit the movie.

I am a bit upset that his eyebrows are much more nicer than mine though.

Thomas

Source

The creator of the Maze named after Thomas Edison. He also got a spot as a runner after helping Alby and Minho out of the maze alive, killing a griever too. Even though he broke one of the most important rule which is not to enter the maze unless you're a runner, he managed to get out of it alive and live to tell how the griever looks like. He also helps them to figure a way out of the maze.

Theresa

Along with Thomas, she is also the creator of the maze. Said to be named after Mother Theresa. And one of the last one to be sent to the Glade, being the only girl to be there. In the second and third book, she srt of betrayed Thomas a bit in order to save him and the others. She did what she had to do to survive. Although Thomas did not know that, she did all of those things in order for them to stay alive.

Chuck

Source

Named after Charles Darwin the youngest Glader who befriended Thomas. He died trying to save Thomas from getting killed by Gally. Spoiler alert, Gally was being controlled by the creator to kill Thomas and Chuck was controlled to jump in to save Thomas. Character played by Blake Cooper, yes I teared up when he was killed. It's just so sad! 

Minho - Runner/The Leader

Source

Minho is the runner for the maze. He is the one going into the maze before sundown to figure a way out, mapping each and every corner of the maze mapping a way out from the maze. He studied every movement and patterns as the maze keep changing.

And not forgetting the other gladers (There are many more of them, I know) ...

I really like the movie, and I cannot wait for the next one to come out. Really looking forward to what comes in the next movie.

And remember, Wicked is good.

Till then,
XOXO
