The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner Trilogy, Book 2) by James Dashner


The Scorch Trials in an excellent addition to the Maze Runner Trilogy. Middle books in a trilogy tend to be anti-climatic and stiff but this one was absolutely intriguing.

There is an entirely new setting, a few new characters and a new mix of dangers. The characters remain strong, consistent and believable.

The storyline is gripping and full of suspense. Another cliff- hanger ending which leaves you all that more anxious for the release of the final installment, The Death Cure which comes out October 11, 2011.

Grade: A



Overview [B&N]
The Scorch Trials picks up where The Maze Runner left off. The Gladers have escaped the Maze, but now they face an even more treacherous challenge on the open roads of a devastated planet.
And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Can Thomas survive in such a violent world?
