The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
3.0
If you are thinking of reading this book series because you ended the films, think again. They are completely different with just a smidge of similarities.
I was put off reading this because I HATED the first book! However, this one is much better than the first, which gives me hope for the rest of the series.
Saying that, I still hate how some of the characters are portrayed in the book - I will stand by the film characters as being superior. Some of the chapters were so boring to read (was literally oh toms tired, he falls asleep. Tom has awoken but still tired, he falls asleep etc)
Also I don't get why they pick and choose when to use the telepathy. Like he's really worried about how he got separated from his friends but doesn't use his telepathy to talk to one of them 🤷🏼♀️ like he doesn't even try, like he's forgotten he can do that?!
