"Scorch Trials" by James Dashner

 

Warning: This is the second book in the "Maze Runner" trilogy. If you haven't read the first book, you may not want to read this.

 The Scorch Trials by James Dashner was just as nerve wracking as the first book I loved it just as much. The unbelievable twists. The new characters brought into it. Everything.

Thomas and the other gladers may have escaped the maze, but their new predicament isn't much better. They met some of the people who supervised the maze, only to get rescued shortly after. Except...the rescue was staged. Their rescuers were still part of WICKED. They just wanted to see their reaction through killzone patterns. They were left with instructions. They had all been infected with the Flare. They had two weeks to get to the set location or they would die. They needed the cure. They had no weapons, and little supplies. They had to face the real world now, in of which many cases was much worse then the maze had been. Some of them would do anything to remember the past, but others don't want to remember what they had lost. Will they be able to reach the set location in time? How many troubles would they encounter? Would all of their questions be answered, or would they find out there were still plenty of secrets hidden from them?

This book in my opinion was phenomenal! Dashner really drags you into the gladers world. Just like the first book, if the gladers got scared, I got scared for them too. You definitely have to read it, but don't start it right before bed otherwise you won't be sleeping that night. You'll read it until it's finished. Simply racing through the pages. Then you'll be there sitting trying to recap on all the craziness you just read. Love, love, love this trilgoy!
