WARNING: SPOILERS
I really liked the first book. The second book kind have had a little bit missing but it didn't even come close to the amount of the disappointment the third book gave me. All of the buildup throughout the entire novel kind of just fizzled out at the end, leaving us wondering what is going to happen next. And also, whats with the fact that we don't even get to see what memories Thomas had? If you're anything like me, you want to know what Thomas was involved with in the maze and how Teresa also played a part. WARNING MAJOR MAJOR SPOILER. On the subject of Teresa, what's up with her death? This may be one of the most pathetic, cliche deaths in the entire book. After everything they could have been through, James Dashner killed her with a piece of falling building.
Now that I've finished my rant, honestly this was a very good series. The first book was by far my favorite with the rest steadily getting worse. I would recommend this book to anyone who is into the new young adult books that always end with the world barely being saved.
This is the cover for the prequel to the series. I may read this book hoping for a little bit of back story that we never got to see in the real series.
I agree with you Alex. The first book was really awesome, but it felt like the second and third just deteriorated into a blob of empty plot and characters. I was really looking forwards to finding everything out but guess that can only happen in the prequel.
ReplyDeleteI am actually starting the first book right know so thanks for saying spoilers but that book cover looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. The first book was great but the other 2 were just plain disappointing!
