The Death Cure

Thomas knows that Wicked can’t be trusted, but they say the time for lies is over, that they’ve collected all they can from the Trials and now must rely on the Gladers, with full memories restored, to help them with their ultimate mission. It’s up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test. What Wicked doesn’t know is that something’s happened that no Trial or Variable could have foreseen. Thomas has remembered far more than they think. And he knows that he can’t believe a word of what Wicked says. The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than Thomas could ever imagine. Will anyone survive the Death Cure?

I should have done reading this before school starts but I just finished it today. This final book in the The Maze Runner trilogy is quite rushed through. However, it turned out a good read for me. I was just so shocked of what happened in the end.

Nothing of it came out cliched to me. Every turn of the page is a surprise and there were twists which I really enjoyed! Mr Dashner passed, entertaining readers like me! After every trials that Thomas and the rest of the Gladers went through under WICKED, I am happy most of them survive.

What I like about the whole thing is that Thomas being the leader, who never ever want any of his friends gets left behind. He wants everyone to make it with him in the other side. He wants them to go as one and always be close wherever he is off to. Stick to him and get nobody left behind.

The Scorch Trials

I had done reading this book only yesterday. It took me quite a looong while to finish this book. Been busy in school but I still read the book even if I snatched times during free periods in school. Mr Dashner, does not disappoint his readers in this one! A MUST READ – The Maze Runner trilogy! 

Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.

In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety . . . until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.

Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated-and with it, order-and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim . . . and meal.

The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. 

Thomas can only wonder-does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?

It totally blew me away! This book really is incredible! I was reading the part where totally-gone Cranks lost their sanity completely and when Thomas made the move to…gosh that part made me wanted to pee in my skirt. I was in an air conditioned library, it was free periods then. Really, I hold my bladder and after the period was over, I rushed to the level 3 washroom! It scared the heck out of me! Haha! I kept laughing how I react to the book…being scared and all this shuck stuffs. I blame the Cranks!
Let’s look at my tweets @QueenieDahilan:

• Ah this is awesome! I’m currently reading ‘The Scorch Trial’!! I miss the shanks!! Lol

• Thomas and Teresaaaa!

• The Scorch Trials is a freaking genius book and Thomas…oh Thomas. the deal he had with the leader Crank lol
  

• pretty cool of Thomas to humor the Crank in that kind of situation. idk how will i do it the way he did hahah!

• just finished reading The Scorch Trials!! on to the next book, The Death Cure!! I’m going insane with the betrayal stuffs

• I don’t even think of trusting WICKED though they are in fact good, like Teresa had said and the tattoo on her. yeah, right…….

I’m now reading the final book in the trilogy, The Death Cure. It’s awesome! REALLY. AWESOME. I still don’t trust WICKED even if there’s a cure, whatever they want from Thomas and the Gladers and the rest.

The Maze Runner

This 1st book in the trilogy amazed me with the awesome settings and very well written descriptive place in the maze or what this maze all about! SUPER EXCITED to read the 2nd installment which is The Scorch Trials! I need to pack my mind ready for another adventure with Thomas and Teresa and the rest of the shanks! Hahaha! James Dashner, you’re indeed the DUDE – I love how you write! Thank you so much for sharing this with all the readers!!  

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

My tweets will probably answer my meaning of “insane” while reading this book last couple of days lol.

@QueenieDahilan:

• Bah!!! I lost my inspired drawing of The Maze Runner!! NOOO. I just put it on the shelf and then….disappeared just like that!

• I need it!!! I want to change a bit with my drawing. Bah! :\

LOOK WHO REPLIED MY RANDOM TWEET… JAMES DASHNER – author of The Maze Runner!!

That replied was yesterday, and here’s my reaction after I got a reply from Mr Dashner! TWEETS.

• Ohmgosh! James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner replied my tweet!! Impossible. I actually can’t believe my random tweet will get a reply

• Thanks so much for replying my random tweet, @jamesdashner haha! Btw, I tried to play the maze online game on the site!! Cool stuff!

• I feel like one of the luckiest shanks out there LOL receiving a tweet from James Dashner feels so awesomeage!!

Celebrating till my eyes started to feel heavy… my last tweet that night.

• Lucky shank needs some sleep now. I want to get up early. Good night Gladers!

WOW. Just looking at those tweets posted by me…idk if you still don’t get me how AWESOMEAGE this book is!! YOU REALLY REALLY HAVE TO READ IT! Even on my Facebook, I posted a status about the maze LOL.

I read the 1st chapter not long ago and I have an inspire drawing, really. The next morning it just disappeared from the shelf. I did a drawing because I need a picture to see how the maze really looks like haha. Call me mad..but really lol I needed it. And YES. I really threw the book across the room. The beginning gave me GOOSEBUMPS. James Dashner did an amazing job writing this book!! A MUST READ for the Hunger Games fans out there! Idk if I should go on because most of my tweets says it all and everything!
I’m having a Glader accent disease. I kept using shank, shuck. haha! It’s true, I have the shuckiest short hair now. I’ll post a picture real soon.

I love how the character in the book, Thomas, asks a lot of questions. You know, itching to get answers – curious of just about every thing. ‘Cause that’s how we learn – we simply ask questions to those who knows something better than us. Thomas was a guy who can’t just NOT do something when something wrong where he landed on. He doesn’t give up easily. He keeps pushing himself that there must be a way to SOLVE the thing. Thomas always thinks too. Think think. Even before sleeping… I really love this character. The book is hilarious. Absolutely! Made me laugh out loud and my siblings think I’m laughing with their jokes when I’m not haha! Thomas MADE ME LAUGH. Thomas’ a Greenie and so is Teresa and me three LOL.

The story’s been stuck in my head. Ponder ponder..of what’s going to happen to their world. Oh gosh I remember…I feel like crying now. Chuck. Oh my shuck-face Chuck.

Anyway, Teresa is a lovely character. Lots of clues were hanging in the air for Thomas when she arrives in Glade. Her hero: Thomas. I won’t say any CLUES for you. You have to read it. No spoilery stuffs. I gotta end this before it gets too rambly… The adventure continues on The Scorch Trials.
