"Death Cure" by James Dashner



Warning:This is the last book of the Maze Runner Trilogy. If you haven't read the first two books you might not want too read this.

The Death Cure by James Dashner was awesome. More and more of the truth is finally revealed, however; some things the characters and us find our are simply breath-taking.

Thomas has been locked in cell, which turns out to be his last trial. All the remaining gladers under go their last trial alone. Upon completeing the trial, they find out good & horrible news. The good news is that's the last trail. WICKED thinks it has all the kill zone patterns required. Bad news. The kill zone patterns are needed to create the cure for the flare, which they still don't have. The gladers find out most of them are actually immune to the flare. That's why their brain waves needed studied, however; everyone isn't immune. Leaving some of their friends lives in the hands of WICKED. Can they get the cure in time? They have the option to go under the knife sort of speak, and get their memories back. Some gladers are all for it, while others still don't trust WICKED, and they don't think they want to remember who they were before this whole mess. Upon the group being split up some havoc breaks out, leaving the odds of everyone surviving rather low. It turns out WICKED left out a a small detail, they only need one candidate for the cure. They need the person with the strongest brain waves, but what is required of them is unbelievable. Their lives as they know it hangs in this one persons hands. There's still only a fifty-fifty chance the cure can be created successfully. Is it worth it to try? Or will they run?


I loved this trilogy. It was so sad to see it end. Luckily I still had the  prequel to read which gave me insight on how the world became to be the way it was in the The Maze Runner. 
Now, I personally can't wait to get my hands on Dashner's new book The Eye of Minds.
