First 3 Chapters


Review in Brief

Thomas (protagonists) wakes up in a metal elevator not knowing where he was. Not knowing where he was is one thing but not knowing anything about him is another. He then begins to hear voice of teenagers from outside of the elevator. Kids come into view and they are pointing and whispering about him. He looks around to see an open space. Confused, he looks around at the unfamiliar area. He sees a big, larger than some others, in clear view. He seemed to be the leader. Thomas would later then ask about where he was or how he got there but no one would tell him.

Quotes

“The lightless elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended, turning the boy’s stomach sour with nausea; a smell like burnt oil invaded his senses, making him feel worse.”

“He looked in every direction but saw only darkness; he felt along the walls, searching for a way out.”

“My name is Thomas, he though. That …was the only thing he could remember about his life.”

“It’s a long story shank. Piece by piece, you’ll learn-I’ll be takin’ you on the Tour tomorrow. Till then….just don’t break anything”

“Welcome to the Glade”

“Where am I?”….”Nowhere good”
