The Scorch Trials

Lately I have not been reading very much independently and honestly, its technology’s fault. I will just admit it now; I am weak when it comes to the temptation of technology, so naturally the desire to read is suppressed by this temptation. Fortunately I have read a variety of books anyways amongst them is The Scorch Trials. The Scorch Trials is a continuation of a book in my previous posts, The Maze Runner. The Scorch Trials begins with the same characters as in the Maze Runner; however, they find themselves once again in another life or death situation in which they are the guinea pigs for a scientific experiment meant to “save the world” from certain destruction. The kids in the story, having been thrown into a barren waste land of dust and the scorching sun must work together to get through the Scorch Trials alive.

The book was interesting to read, yet does not rank very high if I had a list of my favorite books. It was a book with a tremendous amount of mystery to it, maybe too much of it? It was because of this huge amount of mystery that the beginning seemed boring and confusing; however, as the book picked up it was full of climatic moments and intriguing scenes. Overall, I enjoyed the book but I think that it could have been much more interesting with less of a mystery factor to it.
