What is it about?

Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.

In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety … until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.

Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated—and with it, order—and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim … and meal.

The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.

What do I think about it?

• THIS BOOK IS SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON HALF OF THE TIME PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE A BRAIN ACHE.
• There’s way too much suspense. Dude, can’t a single thing go right for these kids? Seriously? What the hell.
• The writing is wonderful as always. Thank you, Dashner.
• I still don’t know what to think of Teresa … Yet she’s my favourite girl.
• ‘A series of unfortunate events’ would be a perfect title for this.
• Brenda is so … irrelevant.
• CAN I MARRY MINHO PLEASE THANK YOU
• WICKED isn’t good. There’s no way it could be.
• Frypan is da bomb.
• Betrayal. Betrayal everywhere.
