The Death Cure: Book Three of the Maze Runner Series

This book was overall pretty good. It was almost heart - wrenching for me, though, because Newt and Teresa died, and I had wished they would have found their happy ending. There were certain points in the story where I had no idea what was going to happen next, and there were a lot of twists and turns. I loved the rush of emotions when Tereasa saved Thomas and the surge of relief I felt when they finally made it to safety. All in all, Dashner did a good job on this one. :)

The Maze Runner was good. The Scorch Trials was (in many ways) better. However The Death Cure was a disappointing end to a fantastic overall series. The author really only had two options as far as an ending goes: he could either make WICKED continue to be the evil beast that it was continually in Thomas's eyes, or he could introduce more plot twists as Variables that would lead to the eventual discovery of a cure for the Flare. Unfortunately, for some reason, the author chooses neither of these. He makes scrap of all of the Variables, makes WICKED give up, and then makes them look good despite their failure. The reader should either feel satisfied that WICKED was destroyed and Thomas and his friends escape to safety or should feel thrilled that a cure to the Flare was discovered. The reader receives no such satisfaction, effectively making everything that happened in the previous two books pointless. In conclusion, I loved the premise of this series, but the author would have done much better if he extended The Maze Runner to include the end of The Death Cure and painted WICKED as the evil group that they always should have been. The Death Cure: what a terrible name for this book

This is garbled child science.
