The Death Cure by James Dashner

The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3)

by James Dashner

Don’t miss book three in the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, now a major motion picture starring Dylan O’Brien!
 
WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends—the Gladers. But it’s finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.

What WICKED doesn’t know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it’s enough to prove that he can’t believe a word of what they say.

Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He’ll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all.

The time for lies is over.

The first two books, The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials, are also #1 worldwide blockbuster movies featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O'Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster!

Also look for The Fever Code, the much-buzzed-about series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built, and James Dashner's other bestselling series, the Mortality Doctrine: The Eye of MindsThe Rule of Thoughts, and The Game of Lives.

This is following the same flow as all the other young adult books in this genre. the first book is all action action action, the second is the come down and the third is fighting the big bad that started it all.

The series seemed a bit pointless and not going anywhere but then you read the epilogue and it just made sense to me. The fact that it was infact a man made disease released in order to start afresh in a new world, just seem realistic in way (not the billion of pounds to make a maze etc) the world could go, with all the threat of wars all around and a nuclear one then this could be realistic in the future - harrowing thought!!

The saddest moment for me was Newt, the clunk head has always been my favourite and then announced that some people were immune and some werent, my heart sunk as i know the author would be cruel and kill my favourite off, and i must admit i cried when Newt and Tommy had their final showdown.
i did find it a bit anti climatic with the death of Teresa but i did have a feeling it was coming so they could pave the way for Thomas and Brenda. However, i had a feeling that maybe Brenda was Councillor Page at one point, as we never meet her and only Brenda mentioned her and she seem very intuned with what she wanted........
