The Maze Runner

I am reading the maze runner by James Dashnser. I am on page 80 and so far the book has been kind of slow. It is about a boy named thomas who gets placed in the glade he is 16 years old. He dosn't remeber anything about his past life except some objects, but no faces or names. In the glade there are hundreds of boys all about 12-18. There is a maze that the runners have to go thourgh every day. There are big doors that look the boys in the glade that close at night. Thomas has a storage eruge to be a runner even after he sees them coming back painting andnout of breath. He also sees a griever that can kill you in the maze and he still wants to be a runner. Every month a new boy comes up an elevator or "the box". A day after Thomas comes to the glade there is another newbie. The person that comes up is a almost dead girl with a note in her hand. I wished that they had spent less time describing the setting and got to the point of him wanting to be a runner, faster. I think that James Dashnser did a very good job of describing “the box” and when the girl comes up it. So far I like the book but at some points it is a little confusing. I am excited to hear what happens with Thomas wanting to be a runner.
