Emily I picked this book up and read the first couple of pages but I was reading other books at the time so I put it down. It seemed weird and doesn't sound very good. Should I read it? Is it worth it? Opinions?


Lisa I thought it was really intresting alot of action!


Karie If you can make it past their annoying way of talking its a pretty good book. :)


Sara It's not a bad book, but it would be a great book for a 15 year old boy. Totally agree on the annoying talking if I had to her "Shuck Face" one more time!


Heather When I picked up this book for the first time, I hated the slang and I couldnt get past the first few chapters. I actually HATED the book. And then a bunch of Booktubers kept talking about how amazing the series was, and how the last book was going to be coming out soon. So I made myself sit there and read the whole book and I ended up LOVING it. You have to get through the slang, which is heavier in the first two chapters and then you barely hear it, or get used to it. Either way I say try it again. It is a good story :)


Eden I loved it from the first page, DEFINITELY read it!!!


Diane I really enjoyed this book. Like others the slang was annoying but the story takes off and you can get around the slang. I just finished the second book 95 min. ago) and the slang is much better (less often) there. I cannot wait to get on the Third book in the series. I say go for it and see what you think. In my opinion it is like Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies blended.

I really enjoyed this book, I read in a magazine where they were thinking about turning this into a movie. It would be really awesome!

Tht would be really amazing if that happend i just wonder who they would pick for the actors


Silvermoon I was exactly like you. I read a million review to decide if it was worth my time or not. I'm so glad i persevered and finished it. The slang is annoying as is the constant references to his having lost his memory but once I got about half way through I was so intrigued by what was happening that I finished it in a day. Then I rushed to get the second book which wasn't annoying at all, it was just good and now I'm desperate to get my hands on book three so I can finally know what's going on!!! Read on!

Boyd Masters I really enjoyed this book. To me its a lot like hunger games but completely different. I would DEFIANTLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!


Colby The thing is, I love this book, but I don't know if I can reccomend it. This is why:
Love Maze Runner
Impartial about Scorch Trials
Dislike Death Cure.


Andrew Harmer Why Colby??


Diane Death cure just didn't do it for me either


Karie Agreed Death cure was blah, But I did love Maze Runner and Scorch trials!

The Death Cure just isn't good. The Maze Runner had this definite excitement factor to it that just WASN'T THERE in The Death Cure. IDK.

Sara I think the Death Cure wasn't good because it just kind of ended and we never find out is Wicked good or evil? I guess we have to read The Kill Order! Also why did a certain character have to die? Did they betray Thomas? Was it to save him? We never find out. I don't want to ruin book 3 but anyone whos read it, Why go through the Maze and Trials for it to end like it did? Were the people at Wicked just going crazy from the flares? I feel like there were huge holes so we would have to read The Kill Order to find these things out.


Diane After The Death Cure I am not even interested in The Kill Order.

Tim Sheppard i checked it out because it was in the high school library. There are much better choices to read besides this one. The story goes on and on and the interactions seem forced between the youth. It doesn't strike you as very real, like Hunger Games or Divergent.


Lauren I just didn't like this book. The slang was horrible (never really got used to it!) and the book made me nauseated often. It's a book where you /have/ to read it before you form an opinion. I suggest you read it and share what you think :)


Nicholas Moody I thought it was ok.

Ms. Anderson Read it. And see. It's your point of view, find out your self. :)


Mïmïé You should, but you'll need a lot of patience. Honestly, this was the slowest book I've ever read. But I liked it, nevertheless.
