Thomas knows that Wicked can't be trusted, but they say the time for lies is over, that they've collected all they can from the Trials and now must rely on the Gladers, with full memories restored, to help them with their ultimate mission. It's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test.
What Wicked doesn't know is that something's happened that no Trial or Variable could have foreseen. Thomas has remembered far more than they think. And he knows that he can't believe a word of what Wicked says.
The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than Thomas could ever imagine. Will anyone survive the Death Cure?
We have followed closely on the running heels of the Gladers as they fought demonic beasts, survived in the harshest of terrains, and watch parts of their group die. We have survived with them, hearts beating at every turn of page and hoped against hope that they would make it beyond the grips of Wicked.
Here we are again with Thomas and his band of misfits as they try to unveil the truth of their existence. As always, James Dashner has delivered an incredible novel to complete the series. I have yet to be disappointed in his ability to shine every character's personality and to keep us enthralled with them from page one to the final word.
Though the conflict remains the same, the storyline is not repetitive. It's a new adventure for the groups with all new obstacles. Every question of mine was answered at some point, yet nothing was predictable. I think that is a talent that many authors do not have.
Each book has the ability to hold its own, but no one should deprive themselves of reading only one. Pick these books up from wherever you can find them and do not let go until the end of The Death Cure. They will keep your mind reeling for months!
P.S. James is the first author whom I have seen that thanked book bloggers in his acknowledgements. That is just too cool! :D
I love this series, but haven't had time to pick the 3rd one up to read yet. So far I've seen lots of good reviews, so I'm eager to pick it up! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm following you now as well.
ReplyDeleteI read that acknowledgement, too! He seems like one of the coolest people ever! (: I loved The Death Cure!
ReplyDeleteP.S. If the books get made into the movie, I think the guy in the trailer should definitely get the role of Thomas.
