The Scorch Trials (Book 2)

This is book 2 in The Maze Runner series. The first was amazing, and I loved the way it ended.  Dashner has a way of taking you to the mountaintop and then throwing you off and still making you want to do it all over again.  We go on the journey with Thomas and his friends again, and you feel yourself on this emotional roller coaster through the entire book.  Just as Thomas by the end has no idea who to trust or who to believe, neither do you.  I can't wait to see where the series goes from here.  Are we going to get any real answers?  In the end, will we trust anything or anyone? 

This is survival fiction--science fiction genre wise. Grade level-Young Adult or 9-12th grade (it really depends on your emotional maturity)  Some images may be hard on some young kids.  Other series by this author (also great)--The 13th Reality Series.

I loved the first book as well and I am looking forward to getting to this book, it is next in the lineup.

I know that feeling; I have about twenty plus still in my line up and that's just for personal reading, forget everything I have to read for class!! But this one is definitely worth it!!

I was able to finish this one today. I enjoyed it, but I am ready for the toying with us to be over. I enjoy not knowing everything that is going on, for a while, eventually I want to feel like answers are coming though.

With that said I am really looking forward to the last one. Sometimes I hate getting into a series before it is done, but oh well...

The toying should be over next year. The last one comes out end of 2011.
