Action-packed with loads more unanswered questions

The Maze trails were brutal. Now, safe in the care of their rescuers, Thomas and the Gladers can relax and begin to heal from the horrors of the past months.

But WICKED is not done yet.

They have more trials in store for Thomas and his friends. They’re ready to plunge the boys into dangers that will make the Maze trials seem like child’s-play. There will be peril, murder, betrayal, tough decisions and heart-break along the way. This time, there are no rules and only one objective: to survive.

Dashner has his foot on the accelerator and he’s not letting up in this second, thrilling installment of The Maze runner series. Once again, the fantasy world created by the author (and WICKED) is unique, filled with “variables” that terrify and have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Some of the characters who I felt were a little “shallow” in The Maze Runner got a chance to shine in this novel. Teresa’s character played a bigger, although very ambiguous role, but we got to see a little more of what drives her. Minho gained strength throughout the journey. The main storyline revolved around Thomas though, and his reactions to the people and challenges thrown at him.

I was hoping for some more answers to questions raised in The Maze Runner, but I think I have even more than when I started. I am dying to find out what WICKED has in store for Thomas and I’m positive that Dashner will finally deliver the answers in an action-packed third installment!

Re the narrator, this isn't one of my favorite. Some of the reading is a little too emotionless for my tastes.

The Scorch Trials: The Maze Runner 2 Review

Where does The Scorch Trials rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've only listened to this audiobook, so I can't rank it yet.

What did you like best about this story?

The thing about the flare, the scorch and how Minho is the leader.

What does Mark Deakins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mark does different sounds for every person, he gives the virtual people in the book a true personality.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Scorch trials

Any additional comments?

The book is awesome! It's scary, it has alot of detail, and James Dashner does an extraordinarily outstandingly amazing job of making his readers enjoy his books really well.

Great 2nd book.

I loved the second book but I am finding the unrelentingly, horrible and cruel misfortune that all the stories characters suffer from repeatedly getting a bit heavy and depressing. I am still looking forwards to listening to book 3 but I hope that their fortunes start to improve drastically or I will start to find this fantastically interesting series to hard to go on with unless I have at least three or four books to listen to that all have incredibly happy endings.
