Hey guys, Have you ever found yourself in the labyrinth? The maze runner  is one of those that, because of its detailed description, made me feel like I was really in a labyrinth with creepy monsters! Written by James Dashner in 2005, it's sold millions of copies around the world and has been made into a film. If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.
