The Maze Runner - by James Dashner

***


The first book of The Maze Runner series


So, I recently watched the film and that was almost amazing. The ended wasn't the best and they left it on a pretty huge cliff hanger but other than that I really really enjoyed it. Thus, I had to buy the book. I know most people hate to watch the film before the book but I like knowing what's going to happen in the film so I can get excited about the things that are going to happen if it starts to drag on.
Anyway, I thought the book was just a good if not better than the film. It is different than the movie so I wouldn't just watch the film thinking it's the same as the book - haven't you read Harry Potter!
It is about a person called Thomas who finds himself in a place called the Glade at the centre of a maze. He can't remember anything but his name and a few distorted memories. However, everything starts to change for the other Gladers when Thomas appears.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to people who like books such as The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Mortal Instruments etc. (because they're book that I like as well)

Rating:  ★★★★   (4 stars)

YouTubers!

I am absolutely loving YouTubers right now. They are people who upload videos on a site called YouTube for those who don't know. Here are some that I would recommend you watch because they are just amazing!


Zoe Sugg
Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, is a very popular British YouTuber who makes video about anything. Mainly beauty but also making a plethora of videos with various other YouTubers. Zoe was nominated and won many awards as she will continue to do in the future. She is a very good person to watch as she has a friendly manner to her videos which makes you feel like she understands you and that you are talking to a friend.
(And I also love her hair...)

Joey Graceffa
Joey Graceffa is an american YouTuber who makes collaboration videos with other YouTubers around the world. He is also a vlogger meaning he will film himself as he goes around in his everyday life. Joey will without a doubt make you laugh so much even when you don't want to. He recently just bought an adorable little husky called Wolf (another reason to watch his vlogs). He was on the Amazing Race (an american show), nominated for many awards along with producing, writing and acting in many short films and an amazing series called Storytellers.

Stacy Hinojosa
Stacy, whose YouTube name is Stacyplays, is a gamer who mostly plays minecraft but also with a lot of popular series not involving mine craft. Her love for words and dogs makes her a great personality to watch. She doesn't curse which is great so I would definitely recommend this channel to younger viewers. She has so much creativity you won't get bored.
