Teresa calls out to him telepathically, but can't seem to get Thomas's attention.
After a while, Thomas finally falls asleep. The book starts in the middle of the night where Thomas wakes up and can't get back to sleep. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction-and they’re determined to survive. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.įriendships will be tested. The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch-the most burned-out section of the world. Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. It’s just a bit more thrilling because anybody can suddenly become ill from the heat or not enough food and you literally have no idea when it might happen – whereas in The Maze Runner anything bad that happens is through the grievers.Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. It’s interesting seeing the Gladers challenged in that way and seeing how they behave in different situations. One of the reasons I liked it was because it’s all based on nature anything dangerous that happens is usually caused by nature and so it wasn’t as though the Gladers could fight off any monsters because everything that’s happening is kind of natural. I really liked the concept of the scorch and how it is just miles and miles of desert wasteland. It really isn’t necessary to have him make that comment. I really like Thomas, he’s a cool guy and he can handle difficult situations well – but then he makes this comment and you can never think about him the same way.
That made the book a bit worse for me as it irritated me throughout the story. There are a few things that I felt to be a bit sexist, for instance Thomas having to force himself to look at this woman’s face because her breasts were big. I feel as though James Dashner tries to include quite a bit of romance in this book and it just doesn’t work and it’s kind of creepy. It’s hard to know where they stand, where you stand as a reader and what your feelings are toward those particular characters. I feel that some of the other characters like Minho, Newt and Frypan, who are mentioned quite a lot and who clearly mean a lot to Thomas, don’t get the chance to really develop. I liked getting to know him more and hearing what his thoughts and views were on things. As there’s a lot of separation from each other in the books, it’s hard for there to be any further development of personalities and relationships, besides getting to know Thomas a bit more which is really good.
They remember more about what was going on and it was interesting getting to know them. There are some new characters introduced who I really liked and I thought it was good to add characters with different back stories and experiences from the Gladers.
