The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 starts is because sometimes I felt like there was somethings that really didn't have to happen and he just added them in there to make the book longer.  It is over all very entertaining and a very easy read. I just feel a lot of some of the stuff that is happening in the series as a whole is getting very repetitive, but I still am very much enjoying it. Most of the characters are all very lovable. I feel like somethings he did go over/move on way to fast; but I guess that is also the point of the book, because most of the time they are in dire circumstances where you can't really linger on one thing too long or you'll end up dead. Overall I very much enjoyed it!

This book was emotional, overwhelming and non stop. It was a rollercoaster to read but I’m happy I stuck with it and finished it

I’m only somewhat disappointed in t ending but it could have been worse. I liked how the book went full circle and they went back to the glade which felt like years ago even though it was only weeks ago.

I was impressed to say the least with the outcome of the book

4.5

the death cure does what many dystopian franchises struggle to do: exit the original premise of their world and still satisfy the readers who came for that premise. hunger games did it, divergent did not. the death cure finds the perfect balance between the mystery of WICKED that the readers want to unearth and the development of the characters we’ve grown to love. 

it starts strong, with our three musketeers showing they are yet again the gayest bunch of straight boys ever. (dashner, you missed an opportunity to make this the pioneer of gay science fiction) it slows down in the middle (probably because minho is not there to keep the plot moving by punching people) and then races to the finish with all the emotions. 

many people criticize page 250. to them, i simply say: get a grip, it was needed. the book would be a 4.0 and not a 4.5 if that page didn’t happen. emotional sacrifice, character growth, it was a crucial part of the story and has been foreshadowed in his character. did i cry the first time? yeah, of course. was it one of the better emotional tugs that cinched the franchise as epic? yeah.
