The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

About The Scorch Trials Book:

"Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch.

There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die.

The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.

Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.

There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive."


The first time I heard of the Maze Runner series I was working for Scholastic Books in the book clubs department. I remember at the time that The Maze Runner  was a highly sought after book by junior high and high school kids alike.

A few years later the book came to my attention again when it debuted as a movie. As much as I like to read, I love to watch movies even more. In fact, I have hundreds of movies in my collection. The Maze Runner is one of them. I really enjoyed the first movie, and have recommended it to several people. Like all good movies that are broken into parts, I felt great anticipation after it ended because I needed to see the  next movie.

The Scorch Trials  has also been made into a action packed movie. Since I haven't read either books I cannot tell you how true to the story the movies are, but for the average movie goer The Scorch Trials were awesome! In fact, if my pocket book would allow, I would go see it again.  I am really looking forward to the day it's out on blu-ray!
