Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every thirty days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

  1. I'm really excited for Ender's Game this year. I've been a fan of Orson Scott Card's writing for a long time and while I'm almost certain that hollywood is going to butcher it I still can't wait. Nice post!
