I felt like some of these trials and craziness in this book simply existed to keep me on my toes. So it was unfortunate but not unexpected when the floor dropped out from under our heros at the beginning. They were warned that nothing can be trusted. So what can the reader trust? Can we know that the first chapter happened? Can we know that the end happened? I'm pretty sure it didn't. But did it? Will the next book begin as this one did? Now we've got to keep reading.The only think I know for sure? WICKED might be good or psychotic.

If y'all thought The Maze Runner was a crazy ride, wait until you read The Scorch Trials. Madness ensues pretty early into this sequel and will have you on the edge of your reading chair as the action-packed trials continue for Thomas and his friends. I really liked the character development in this one better than in The Maze Runner as well. We get more depth and emotions out of Thomas and some of the others. The plot is filled with new action, conflict, drama, and twists - and the Scorch is as menacing as the Maze ever was.

I still have so many unanswered questions.

I still think the Brenda and Thomas thing was unnecessary and weird. he doesn't need a new girlfriend to feel okay.

It all started with me blowing up WICKED ! ARGUH ! When will these trials end ? When will we have some answers ? How can they keep killing these few healthy kids off in this world of burn and disease ? I am at the end of patience, i have pulled out almost all my hair. I don't know who is good, who is bad, who is adjusted, what is adjusted, what is real ?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I have been waiting, waiting waiting

Thomas, he is lied too, misjudged, tricked, back stabbed, kissed, kicked, shot, drugged.......and that's just the warm up. He and the gang head off on their new trial across the Scorch, where they get burned, starved, beaten, killed..... yeah it's awful. They don't quit, they trudge forward, holding on to each other and the hope. They meet up with others, they watch friends die, they enter new twists and still they keep going. Who can they trust, what can they trust ? Do they really have any chance ? They questions never seem to be answered. Stressful, that's what this series is. Don't miss it if you love the hunt for the truth.
