BOOK NAME: The Scorch Trials
AUTHOR: James Dashner

The Gladers successfully solved the Maze and everything was supposed to be over. No more confusion, no more puzzles, no more running to save their own lives. The Gladers expected to be able to get their preview lives they knew nothing about back. To have it easy again. But even the Maze was easy compared to what was ahead of them; the Maze provided the essentials. When diagnosed with the Flare, the Gladers are sent across a disintegrated wasteland to retrieve their cure, to prevent themselves from turning into a Crank, to pass another trial.

After reading The Maze Runner I immediately got online, looking to see if there was a second book, the ending of the first hinting on a continuous story. The Maze Runner was rather new at that time and The Scorch Trials was being written and worked on then. I waited patiently for this book to come out and as soon as I got it, I read it as fast as I could.

James Dashner is very descriptive and the surroundings of the story and characters are so real, you’ll want to engage in the story more than ever. I read dead into the night, curious about the unrevealed relationships between the events happening and the role which they all played in the character’s lives.

I suggest this book to just about anyone of any age. If you can read and have a longer attention span than a squirrel go and read this book!

    Hey guys!

    Howzit hangin?

    Anyway, I’m back on,

    This looks like a great book Emelie, sadly I don’t think I can read it for I don’t have a longer attention span than a squirrel!

    Squirrels scare me actually :) , With their big vacant eyes and *shudders* :o

    This looks like a great boook, Thanks for posting it :)

    As interesting as this sounds, I do not think that I will read this. I do have an attention span longer than a squirrel, but I tried Maze Runner and I was so bored. I usually read a book from start to finnish, but the book did not draw me in. This is odd since I usually like books like the Hunger Games…Anyway thanks for the review!

    I COULD NOT STOP reading this book. I think it’s even better than the first. The scene where they’re in the city is amazing and I could picture it so well. And I loved the different twists and turns. I love this book.

    I really liked the review. I have read this book almost 3 times, because it was so good. It is a bit more confusing than the first one, the maze runner, but other than that it is an awesome book. I read this book over the last fall and have been waiting ever since for the 3rd book to come out!
