The Maze Runner: Book 2: The Scorch Trials

            The Scorch Trials, by James Dashner, is a book that tells readers what happens after Thomas and the Gladers escape the Maze. Now that they are out, they face a whole new series of challenges. WICKED tells them that they have to cross the Scorch to reach a safe haven in two weeks. But with it, comes difficulty. The world, burned by sun flares, has a climate that has gone out of control and Cranks, people infected by the Flare a disease that makes people insane, are constantly on the hunt for their next meal. Thomas believes that somewhere in his supposedly empty mind rests the secret to defeat WICKED.

            If you ask me, the first book was better. This is still a good book; I just don’t like the ending. It is just too random for it to make any sense. I just don’t like certain things about it. I would specify, but since it is at the end I won’t. The beginning also wasn’t very gripping. The middle is the only part I liked. The entire series is The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, and the prequel The Kill Order.
