The Maze Runner Series By James Dashner - Reading from 'The Maze Runner' from September 24th 2019

[Rachael]

Yes! May 15?

[Noella]

Yeah! Sounds good

[Neha]

Gosh I've finally 'started' reading the Scorch Trials. Couldn't get the time in between, i'm so sorry for that.

Done Chapter 5- (view spoiler)[ SAY WHAAAAAAA???? (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Upto Chapter 10- (view spoiler)[ DIFFICULT?? Wasn't it difficult already. Shucky Rat Man. Poor Aris though, his partner was killed. And I know its weird to think but how it must be for a boy amongst 60 girls...?? And why does Thomas think the guy kinda knew Aris. Oh and I totally got what Aris is for- Aristotle- duh! Hmm...then its pretty obvious that Teresa 'Agnes' is with the group of girls for the next phase, her memory removed perhaps..NOT FAIR! (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Upto Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ OH MY GOD I think I'm gonna have nightmares about that *shudder* (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Upto Chapter 18- (view spoiler)[ I like Minho's attitude. It's a LOT better than curling into a ball and crying. Whatever the boys are facing, they need a fearless leader, and Minho's Right upto it, accepting his job. Also, I don't really liked the scorch yet, having random strangers check you out in between and all. SO weird. I REALLY hope at least more than half of the group makes it to the end, at least 10!! Including Aris, Winston, Thomas, Newt, Minho, Frypan. (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch-20 (view spoiler)[ Okay... this was a COMPLETE WTF moment. LIke okay, he saw her, she REALLY was there, Surprisingly clean, for reason we didn't know started crying in the middle of everything, then they hugged and kissed and she ordered to go away and he DID??? You.Stupid.Author. Does that make any sense dude?? EDIT- After ch-21, okay NOW i know why. Thank goodness the author didn't left us hanging in between of THAT question at least. (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Another tactic to read the book- Think of it as a high-futuristic and interesting video game. That way questions won't come, hopefully :P :D

[Neha]

(view spoiler)[ Woah okay, why Minho's getting too heartless?? And Newt, poor Newt, he is STILL my favorite character, Thomas comes in the second place, Teresa in third and Chuck in fourth (yeah so what if he's dead) and Aris in fifth :). Minho just got sixth one... (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

LOL. Done Ch- 29 (view spoiler)[ There were many scenes to laugh Out Loud. The convo between Thomas and Jorge- it was like Staright out from a gangster movie XD. That made Thomas as My Most Favorite Character. Newt, I don't know what happened to him, so depressed he is. Maybe because of Alby, but he hasn't said a word about him in this whole book yet. Anyway, Then comes the intro to Brenda- Man!! They had some typical chicks even in the middle of This kind of future. The other boys must be jealous of Thomas luck, haha. I just hope no dispute rises between Minho and Thomas. And oh dude, the ending, THOMAS SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN DETACHED FORM THEIR GROUP IS HE CRAZY?!?!?! (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch- 38 (view spoiler)[ Y.E.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MINHO TO THE RESCUE WOOHOO (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch-40 (view spoiler)[ I've actually forgotten about how many times Thomas passed out. Six maybe?? (hide spoiler)]

Done Chapter 5- [spoilers removed]"

No apology needed! We all read at our own pace and when we can and then discuss it together! :)

[Rachael]

Neha (Athena) (Queen Elinor) wrote: "Upto Chapter 10- [spoilers removed]"

That's a good catch!! I totally didn't notice that

[Neha]

I've done reading chapter 44 and stopping there for today. (view spoiler)[ Wow..the girls seem even scarier than Cranks, and I know what I'm talking about, because one of the Cranks 'almost' killed Thomas with his gun, and a girl crank who's probably not that cranky yet would be still a whole lot cranky even she wouldn't be officially a crank. But for some reason I found it really cool that the girls have bows..reminds me of Hunters of Artemis :P. I REALLY hope that the tests aren't Girls vs Boys but Girls and Boys, that's more logical! Oh what else? Hmm..I'm really appreciating the author's brilliance of mind behind all this spider like web of confusing and amazingness, like how he created each secret and made a right time to disclose it, adding stuffs to the plot rather than ruining it. (hide spoiler)]

It just made sense at that time :P

Mannnn Chuck was my favorite character in the first one :( I miss him

[Neha]

Uggh..the internet was not working when I was reading through chpater 51 and on...but (view spoiler)[ I just somehow KNEW that Teresa couldn't go bad, not even when she threw him into the chamber saying he was a sacrifice..idk why...I mean he has every right to be angry on her..but somehow we just knew she isn't bad..its really weird to understand lol (hide spoiler)]

[Neha]

Ch 58- (view spoiler)[ So...a final fight is between two groups and light bulb type men...okay...dear author..thats a little creepy you know...especially when im readin this in the middle of night.. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Neha (Athena) (Queen Elinor) wrote: "Uggh..the internet was not working when I was reading through chpater 51 and on...but [spoilers removed]"

Yah I agree.. I had a hard time trying to decide if she really did go bad or if she was acting.. Things will never be the same between Thomas & Theresa again but I think that was all part of the plan... The betrayer

[Rachael]

Neha (Athena) (Queen Elinor) wrote: "Ch 58- [spoilers removed]"

Omg I know! I was kinda skimming at that point cause I couldn't deal with those creepy things!

[Neha]

All done (view spoiler)[ That's it? Oh well...I think Tom's decision was right to let go of Teresa out of his mind. I STILL ship both of them though, but I think they need some time. STUPID WICKED EXPERIMENTING ON THEM!!!!! And what is this Brenda's entry into Thomas Brain?? Oh and when they were all climbing that Berg I was so scared that someone doesnt fall off or couldn't climb...gosh THAT was actually the tense and scary moment for me because ANYTHING could go wrong.

Anyway, I really REALLY hope there won't be ANOTHER experiment anymore. The next book could be about fighting flare and saving the world and all that stuff, instead of experimenting. (hide spoiler)]

I know. Hey do you ship Thomas and Teresa? :P. Because I did. Right from the start!

[Rachael]

Is the third book the final book? Do we get answers and closure? For some reason I thought this series was like 15 books long but I think that's Ender's Game.

I agree, I'm shocked about Brenda's entry into Thomas Brain!! lSKFJLSKDHFL:SDKfj I need answers!

[Neha]

Answers aren't something you get in this series, lol. I'm kinda used to it now, its just like an awesomesauce video game really. Gotta give a hats off to the author for SUCH an Idea! I mean either he's TOO crazy or TOO genius XD

Yup its just a trilogy...

[Neha]

GUYS have you seen the TOP quote of this book on goodreads?? I had a suspicion this quote would be in there but on the top HAHA. Check it out now!

[Rachael]

hahahhahaah “Rose took my nose, I suppose”

Too funny

[Neha]

Haha IKR!?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thread amended ☺

[Noella]

LOL that quote...!

[Noella]

I wasn't expecting a love triangle for this series haha. I like Teresa better than Brenda but after her 'act' with Aris changed everything! I don't like that :'(

[Neha]

YAY! I bought the third book yesterday. Don't worry I didn't sneak peeked in it yet :P. Can't wait to read it!!

[Rachael]

I can't wait to see how this ends!!!!

[Rachael]

Thanks Sarah :)

[Rachael]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Yay! They're gonna remove the swipe! If I was Thomas I'd be super excited for that and not fighting it tho I get it, he doesn't trust them. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ I can't decide if this really is another test... If it IS a test then I think Brenda is in on it... AHH How does this author make me so confused in every single book? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ omg Gally is alive?! Does that mean Chuck might be too?!?! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Want to read this still. XD

[Rachael]

I finished yesterday.. I'd love to discuss it with someone if anyone does read it.

(view spoiler)[ Everything finally came together and our questions were answered. I think if I paid more attention to this series I would have caught on to some things. Like Chancellor Paige had written the epilogue in the first two book and I didn't even make the connection until the Epilogue of the third book. I can't believe Theresa died! Actually I can believe it and it was necessary and I'm okay with it. To be honest I didn't like either girl really so I didn't care who Thomas ended up with. (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

@Rachel chapter 5(view spoiler)[ removing the swipe is sure to make things go crazier. Looking forward to be in Thomas' head. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14(view spoiler)[Brenda...meh still don't trust her. Would Thomas getting his memories back be a good thing or not? Only way to know is for his memories to be returned. Dying to find out! (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

can't wait to read this!

[Shav]

me neither :D!!!
