Review: The Death Cure


If you haven't read The Maze Runner or the second in the series, The Scorch Trials by James Dashner, stop everything right now and run to the nearest bookstore and pick up a copy.
I recently finished The Death Cure which is the third, and final, book in the trilogy. It's due to come out October 11 (so you have plenty of time to read the first two).

I'll start at the beginning. The Maze Runner is about a boy, Thomas, who's thrown into a maze with other boys. They are part of a large experiment run by an ominous group known as WICKED. The Scorch Trials follows Thomas and his friends from the Maze in the second part of their experiment that takes place in The Scorch. The Death Cure mainly takes place at WICKED's headquarters and Denver, CO. The whole way through the series one keeps asking their self if WICKED is good, who they are, and what do these experiments mean? The series is fast-paced and thrilling. I've finished each book in one day. It's impossible to put them down!

I have to say the first book is my favorite out of the series, but I greatly enjoyed The Death Cure. It answered every question I had and provided a very satisfying ending to the series. I'm very upset that the series is over because I feel so attached to the characters! However it was a thrilling journey and I will continue to recommend this book to every person looking for a thrilling and unique series that comes into my bookstore.

Also follow James on twitter: Here!
He tweeted the other day about his new book, and I can't wait to hear more about it!

This series is perfect for middle-school aged boys and girls to adults. (My dad enjoyed the series too!) It's perfect for readers looking for adventure and those interested in dystopian books. If you liked the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson or The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, you'll love The Maze Runner trilogy!

I loved this series and haven't met a person who's disliked them!


Till next time! :)
