The Maze Runner Series Book Two: The Scorch Trials

Wow. Thomas is probably the unluckiest person left on the destroyed earth. This week I finished The Scorch Trials, which is the second book in the Maze Runner series. WARNING THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. So if you are reading and want all the surprises to be surprising, I advise going to a different blog.

So where do I begin. Thomas experiences misfortune after terrible event and I don't know how much this kid will be able take. At the end of the first book it seems like finally this group of kids will get a break. But then, surprise WICKED is still in control. This book is all about the second trials the remaining Gladers face after escaping the maze. There are many twists and turns in this book. Almost too many. I admire what James Dashner is trying to do, but the amount of plot twists is almost too many to keep up with. Also, it seems like at least half of the chapters end with Thomas passing out or falling asleep. This was a pretty good book but I liked the first book a lot better. It's almost like you get to a bad part and think, "Hm, I wonder how hes going to get saved this time. I can't wait until it happens again." (Sarcastic)

To all who have read the first book: Keep reading the series. All those lingering questions tugging at the back of your mind won't be answered this book, but I'm about 60 pages into the third book and stuff is already making a little more sense. Dashner can only include so much heartbreak, betrayal, death and destruction into one chapter right?

A picture of the sun flares. The main cause of the disease that is known as The Flare in The Scorch Trials. Thomas and his friend's mission is to get through an area of the world known as The Scorch. At the end of the destination will be a place called The Safe Haven. There they will find a cure for the horrible disease.
