“The scorch trials” is the second book in “The maze runner” series written by James Dashner. The series has always been a popular dystopia, post-apocalyptic series, however last year the first book was turned into a movie and it made it be all over the hype. This second book was also turned into a movie, which has recently hit the theaters. Since I liked both the first book and movie I decided to read this second book before watching the movie.

After the maze Thomas, Teresa and the rest of the boys were brought to a facility, there they were fed and given a place to sleep. But something starts not going well and Thomas is not able to hear Teresa inside his head anymore, and when they woke up they found they are wearing a tattoo each. Thomas’ tattoo says he was supposed to be called by the group. When they went looking for Teresa they found a boy instead. They will soon find out their maze was not the only one, that all of them are carriers of the sickness that has killed most population and that the maze was just the first step in an experiment that aims to find the cure.


“The scorch trials” was a really good book. The plot was mysterious and full of nail-biting moments in which you were unable to put the book down. However there were some parts that were difficult to follow since we know so little about WICKD and the experiments. About the characters I think most of them suffer a development in this book, they start sounding more like adults even when they are supposed to be teenagers. I feel like I cannot talk much about this book without making big spoilers of it, so I would just say I really think you should read this book if you read and liked the first one.
