The Scorch Trials

by James Dashner
PRMS hardcover 360 pages
genre: dystopian adventure
book two in The Maze Runner series

How can I keep reading books I don't like? Because I really, really want to understand what's going on in this series. Who is Thomas really? What is the point of what he's going through?

Violent, nasty, brutal. WICKED does more icky stuff to these kids. They are sent across a searing hot wasteland (The Scorch) and have to walk 100 miles north in two weeks to get to The Safe Haven. Cranks will try to kill and eat them, violent lightning storms fry some of them, etc. etc.

Aris, Brenda, and Jorge are introduced. I suspect everyone's motives.
