The Scorch Trials

charlesh20 - Scorch Trials is the second book in the Maze runner series, I actually LOVE The Maze Runner Series and I think that The Scorch Trials book is AWESOME, So anyway this story is about Thomas after escape from the maze, and he is brought to a WICKED base in a middle of a desert. After few days, Thomas find out that the WICKED is taking all the people into a experiment. So Thomas and his friend decide to escape the base and run into a crowded desert. The WICKED tries to find them, but they unfortunately they run away, they run into a old building with some very old resources in it. They have to live their or they will die in the desert. So they start to try to find resource in the old big building, When Mingho found a machine that is used to produce electrify. When Mingho turn it on, All the zombies came out and try to kill them, after they escape from the building they want to find the "mountain people" which is against WICKED. They remember what Jason(The WICKED PEOPLE) tell them. Once they get there, The "Mountain people" Somehow helped Thomas and his friend. The WICKED found them and they escape. After long time, Teresa contract the WICKED about Thomas is at the last base the the "Mountain people" So the WICKED come and gets all the people but no Thomas, Thomas decide to revenge. And then this book ends. Overall I think this book is written very well, the story making sense. I think the most interesting part and shocking part is when Teresa telling WICKED that the location of Thomas, I feel shock too. One of my favorite part of this book is when the fighting part, at the ending of this book, action going on, the most heart-breaking, betrayals. From my perspective I think Thomas have full confidence of revenging WICKED and save his friend. Me and my friend like to read this book, even adults love it, Even my grandpa likes the movie of this book. In my personal opinion, I would suggest this book to the readers who loves book about action of course, romance, mysteries and betray stories. I think I learned a lot of things and lesson on this book, for example don't betray your friend because of some purpose, or some surviving is the natural without resources and more. I enjoys this book since I start reading this book, I just loves how the story goes in this book. I STRONGLY suggest you to read this enjoyable book.

Hundreds of pages into this sequel to The Maze Runner, one of the teen subjects of a survival experiment on postapocalypse Earth wonders aloud, "hat this is really all about." Readers may be asking that, too. In The Maze Runner, the teens, their memories erased, searched for a way out of a deadly maze; their escape, led by Thomas, was short-lived. As volume two opens, the boys learn they are infected with the "Flare," a virus that has killed millions and produced a population of nearly insane, disease-ravaged "cranks." New orders from WICKED, a coalition of surviving governments, have the boys marching across a wasteland toward a promised cure. Though some facts are teased out, the narrative bogs down under the weight of unanswered questions. What is the purpose of torturing these kids? How is making them into killers ensuring the survival of the world? Why would government leaders name themselves WICKED? Hopefully answers are forthcoming in volume three. In any case, fans who are already hooked will gobble this down, particularly those who don't mind anemic female characters and a high body count. Ages 12–up.
