This reader actually wasn't sure what sub-genre this book was (dystopian or sci-fi?) up until the very end. Thomas promptly proves to be an unwitting herald for “the end” of life as they boys have come to know it.Īnd that's about as far as I can go without dropping spoilers left and right due to the “whodunnit?”/“whytheydunnit?” plot setup. The Creators are, presumably, those responsible for the bizarre social experiment going on, and the deadly maze-like conditions found outside of the “Glade” where the boys have established their own quasi-civilization. He is then thrust into a contained farm-like environment with somewhere around sixty other boys who've all been inflicted with the same amnesic condition by forces the boys refer to as the “Creators.” Thomas awakens in an elevator-like box, unable to remember anything personal about himself aside from his name.
