I took notes for the first 15 chapters than had to stop as the gruesomeness of it all was going to be too much to keep track of. With their memory back, these kids go insane for the pain and shock of their past. Some kids survive as they are given a serum, and their memories are returned after going through some excruciating pain that changes their bodies and features to a monster-likelihood. A lot of kids die in the community if they get attacked by the creatures in the maze. The girl is comatose, we don't know if she is going to die. At some point the girl arrived in this boy-filled community, to much surprise to everyone.

Every week they receive goods for their survival in a box, and also instructions on what to do. Each kid as a job: there is one that prepare the food for the community, some that are running the maze every day to try solve it, some that are considered doctors of some sorts, some other that take care of the crops and what not. The story is about a group of teenager boys and one teenager girl who mysteriously end up in a strange place with their memory wiped, and their job is trying to solve a maze populated by strange and surreal creatures that like to eat the kids. The story itself can be appealing if you like dystopian novels, it's written in an engaging way, with a unique language, often finishing the chapters on a cliffhanger. This book was in the reading list for my 7th grader and I was shocked to see how gruesome it is.
