The Scorch Trials Pt. 2

For independent reading I am currently reading, The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. This is the sequel to, The Maze Runner, one of my favorite books of all time. *SPOILERS* A brief Summary of the events so far: The gladers wake up in the strange building that they were brought to by the mysterious people who rescued them, Teresa is exchanged for Aris a new kid from “group B” a counterpart to (the main character) Thomas’ group. The gladers learn they are infected with a mysterious disease called “the flare” which slowly makes people loose their minds and turn in to zombies. They learn that they will have to face another test to obtain the cure to the disease, crossing a 100 mile dessert in two weeks. They soon commence on their journey and discover that this second task will be as if not more challenging than the first. With their numbers dwindling, they meet up with some other survivors. Thomas and a new girl, Brenda are separated from the rest of the group and decide to try to cross the city that the gladers had discovered moments before they had encountered the survivors. It’s a race against time for Thomas and Brenda to get to the end point and get the antidote before the flare consumes them. So far this book has really grabbed my attention, and I have not had a boring moment yet. I think the book will have many more plot twists and turns before the ending, which I am sure will be a good one.
