[Victoria]

Yeah, they seem horrible. Just wait until you get further into the book!

[Courtney]

42% Holy cow! (view spoiler)[ I was not expecting Minho to recommend Thomas to take his spot as keeper of the runners.(view spoiler)[ It is getting really good now. (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Eh. I hope it don't get to bad. Those things are gross.

[Victoria]

Yeah, he was, I was so impressed! :)

[Courtney]

77% (view spoiler)[ Why Thomas? Why?(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Victoria wrote: "Courtney, are you reading this? I'm up to 65% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah. I agree. Taking the (view spoiler)[ sun was pretty evil. I thought Gally might have went to the creators as well. I wonder where he was before the greivers came into the glade.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Victoria wrote: "I'm at 80% [spoilers removed]"

I actually felt pretty impressed with Thomas (view spoiler)[ I feel like he is willing to do whatever it takes to get his friends out even if it means him dying. Not many people do that.(view spoiler)[ I am hooked on this book right now. Hopefully I can finish it tonight. (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

95% (view spoiler)[ Chuck! seriously why him? Ugh!(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Victoria wrote: "Finished!! [spoilers removed]"

I agree that epilogue was suspicious.

[Victoria]

Yeah, it worries me... So you're done? What would you rate it? :)

[Victoria]

And do you want to read the next book soon?

[Courtney]

I gave it 4 stars, and YES! I wanna read the next book! Hopefully I can start it soon.

[Victoria]

Tomorrow sound good, or is that too soon?

[Courtney]

Too early. I have 3 books to finish and a couple buddy reads to start. What about January 1st?

[Victoria]

Sure, that'll work :)

[Courtney]

Okay :) I will let the Mods know.

[Gwen]

[Victoria]

I'm running so behind with buddy reads, I'll start soon! Hopefully...

[Courtney]

Same here! I got called in today so I wont be able to read for a couple more hours :/

[Courtney]

I'm going to try to start this today.

[Victoria]

I finally started! I'm up to chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Im starting to get very worried about Teresa. Why isn't she answering? Where is she? And why is this Aris kid in her room? And was he in another Maze?!? Oh, and the Cranks are freaking me out. So far I've just got a lot of questions, and no answers... (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

I started as well, but I only read one chapter so far :/

[Victoria]

That's okay :) At least we've both finally started!

[Courtney]

Yeah. I am still trying to finish Where She Went as well.

[Victoria]

Okay cool :) Hopefully you get more time to read soon, being overly busy sucks

[Courtney]

Yes it does :/

[Victoria]

Chapters 5-18 (view spoiler)[ This new world sounds awful. The sun shouldn't be that bright and hot, that's horrible. It does explain the Flare though. And what are those silver balls? I'm guessing they're another "variable", but that's a bit too cruel. I was like Thomas, I wanted to save them, but I couldn't. And Rat Man was a bit creepy. Just telling them that they had to run, they had no choice. I guess there's a reason they were the only ones that made it out, because they're reacting incredibly well to what they're being put through (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapters 1 -3 I'm not even that far into it, and it is already getting good. (view spoiler)[What is up with those "Cranks"? They sound creepy as heck. Also I am guessing W.I.C.K.E.D killed the people that rescued the Gladers. That really sucks I wanted to get to know them better!(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapters 4 - 7 (view spoiler)[ Well now the epilogue in Maze Runner makes more sense now. So far it is good, but I got a few questions. One where is Teresa and 2 Can group A trust Aris? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Victoria wrote: "I finally started! I'm up to chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

I'm worried as well :/

[Victoria]

Chapters 18-27 (view spoiler)[ I knew this Aris kid wasn't good. He's just so suspicious, all the time. And it's a bad sign that Rachel died. And an even worse sign that Teresa seems to be captured, or has the Flare, or has gone crazy or whatever it is that's happened to her. Oh, and this world is crazy. Terrifying. That storm was freaky. Those sun flares are unnatural. I don't like it here. I want them back, safe in the maze. Alby was right about not wanting to leave because of his memories. I'm sure he died, but I understand why he did it (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

I've suddenly found a whole lot of time to read this, and I'm going to try to finish it today. I'm up to chapter 46. This one is a lot creepier than the first one. The Cranks scare me... (view spoiler)[ Especially the ones who wanted to take their noses. That seriously freaked me out. Maybe I'm just a wuss, but... *shudder* And the girls are being incredibly weird. Why does Teresa want to kill Thomas? I guess she's been told she has to, but why? More importantly, does the cure for the Flare really exist? The next book is called the Death Cure... Does that mean WICKED is lying and they have to find it themselves? So. Many. Questions (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Finished!! I'm a bit annoyed that I came out of this with more questions than answers... But they were questions that I actually cared about, so that's a good sign! I'll try and do a review tonight or tomorrow

[Courtney]

I just got off so I am going to try to read more tonight. You will still discuss it with me right?

[Victoria]

Of course! :)

[Courtney]

Chapters 5-18 (view spoiler)[This new world sounds terrible. I am glad they explain the Flare though. And those silver balls in the hallway thing were scary and mean. Poor Winston! I am so glad Thomas saved him. As for Rat Man he was crazy, and I hope we do not have to see him again. Also where the heck is Teresa?(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Oh, those silver balls are awful. Rat Man freaked me out. And I wasn't quite sure what he was doing there, with that walk. It seemed unlike WICKED, from what little we know about them then

[Courtney]

Chapters 18 to 27(view spoiler)[ So does this mean Teresa got captured. That storm was freaky, how can there be lighting and barely any rain? I don't like Jorge either. Who the heck does he think he is? And he wants to kill Minho? Ugh I don't like him! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

End of chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ I don't think Thomas should trust Brenda!(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

End of chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ These cranks are terrifying. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

I HATE Cranks! They freak me out so much!

[Courtney]

Sorry I have been so busy. I'm hoping to get some reading in today.

[Victoria]

That's okay, hopefully you get time :)

[Courtney]

I am at chapter 40 now and, (view spoiler)[ what the heck is going on with Thomas? First he gets shot, and now WICKED takes him!(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

(view spoiler)[ The cranks who wanted to take the noses scared me too. That was so gross. I am wondering why Teresa is acting the way she is. What the heck did Thomas do to her? I'm starting to wonder if there really is cure as well. Also I hope Brenda survives. I really like her.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

I'm up to Chapter 55 and (view spoiler)[ I don't know what to think about Teresa. Did she do what she did to save everyone or did she do it to screw with Thomas? I really hope she did it to save Thomas.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

So I finally finished! So this book answered most of the questions that I had at the end of Maze Runner. However, (view spoiler)[it also opened up more questions. Like are some people really immune to the Flare? Can Teresa be trusted? Is Brenda working for WICKED? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Victoria]

Yay! :) (view spoiler)[ I don't know if I trust Teresa either. Thomas would die for her in an instant, but she didn't even try for him. Maybe she's remembered something horrible that Thomas has done? I think some people can be immune, I just don't know if Thomas and co will be. (hide spoiler)]
