| The Kill Order is a movie written by James Dashner, and it is prequel as well as the 4rth book of the maze runner series. It is set in the future, 13 years befor the maze runner, in New York, and a camp with a small city next to it. Every once ina while the characters have flashbacks of when the solar flares hit. The book is about the main character, Marc, who manages to survive the solar flares with a group of friends and two soldiers named Alec and Lana. They are on their camp one day when a jet appears and people dressed in biosuits start shooting darts at the, which ar efilled with a nasty disease that spreads very easily and kills quickly. The rest of their friends sadly die form the diesease, but Marc, his gril friend Tina, and Alec and Lara manage to escape. They walk through the woods, finding people that are infected and have turned to savages. They find a small girl called DeeDee, who would later become Teresa in the previous novels. They are told that they will be saved from the disease and then that they must go to the city. At the end, Marc, Tina and Alec are infected and go crazy, but they manage to passs DeeDee throught the promsed FLat Trans, where she arrives at WICKED. |  I think that this book was absolutely amazing and that it was the thing that we all have been waiting for, as we really don't know what happened at the start of the Flare. I would reccomend this to people that are really attached to the maze runner series, and I would recommend to read it last, not first. This would also be good for curious people as it shows how badly the word can change with the destrutcive force of humans and nature working together. I think that this was one of the best books yet and that even though it may be confusing at times, it is totally worth reading. |

My opinion on this book is that it was amazing, it was one of the best books I have ever read, I think to the very last page, you are tearing your hair out wondering what will happen. It is a book filled with mystery, not just to the characters but also to the reader, there is an unimaginable amunt of things that you don´t know. I think this is what keeps you redaing this book, that every paragraph brings up the question "¿How did that just happen?" It is absolutely worth reading and that It covbers a very complicated theme, such a complicated one, yet the author egaged it all so well into a story that was thrilling and that makes your eyes glued to the pages until you realize it is 1:00 am.
Right Arm abducts Thomas and other inmunes, and send him back to WICKED, using him as a distraction to they can break into the building and plant bombs. After WICKED is taken down, Thomas and all the inmunes escape the building through a Flat Trans, but unfortunately, Teresa, one of Thomas´ best friends, dies saving him at the end, where the inmunes end up in a far away jungle, away from all the problems of the scorched and diseased world.
My opinion in this book is mostly positive, it is incredible to transport yourself into this world filled with Cranks and WICKED and Sun Flares, I think it is worth reading even if it is a little bit sad or tragic, as no one is happy seeing two main characters, who have become such an important part of this series, who we have come to know and love, die in one single novel. This book wasn´t as filled with action as the last two, but it is because this is an ending, not made to create more problems, but also because it is set in a more pacific setting, even if it feels like a bad imagery in your head as you visualize what could be not impossible for the world once to become, with the solar storm occuring in 2015 and 2016, and the new deadly viruses mutating. This book is so exiting, so sad, and so "closing-up," that even if it may feel like another ending of the story would´ve left us more satisfied, the author chose a good way to end the series, with a swing, answering all the questions you had while reading The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials, like if the world was still alive, if there were normal people or functioning cities, or if WICKED is good, I would recommed this book to people that don´t like to read much, as people wo like to read a lot, like me, get really attached to the story and the book is just traumatizing. And after finishing this series, I can only say; "WICKED is not good."   The Scorch Trials, written by James Dashner (book #2 of The Maze Runner Series) is a short action novel that takes place in The Scorch, (more precisely in southern Mexico) all the areas of the world between the two tropics, which were burned and dried by massive radioactive sun flares. The story is narrated in limited third-person around a character named Thomas, who is crossing the Scorch with his friends that he met at a trial in the Maze at WICKED (World In Catastrophe - Killzone Experiment Department) which is the new government in this new devastated world. Thomas and his friends were infected with a deadly virus, called the flare, which has devastated the scorched world by turning the infected into crazy, human eating animals called Cranks, who are deprived of basic human feelings like compassion and love. Thomas and his friends, along with another group of WICKED's "lab rats," will cross the Scorch to get the "cure" for the Flare, which wicked has been developing for years. The Scorch is ignored by the world and is filled with thousands of long-gone Cranks, which the group will have to fight through to get to the Safe Heaven. where they will get the "cure". I think that everyone should read this book, it was amazing and interesting, and it is definitely worth reading. The story was filled with suspense, as this new, burned-out world is so strange that you can't really predict what will happen next. This book was a action-packed, the story throwing something new at the Gladers every turn of a page, after all, they are in a city filled with bloodthirsty monsters and who knows what more. It also helped that the story gave such big and detailed explanations of things, making the story easy and fun to visualize. It also is worth reading because it is one of those books that leaves you with so much expectation, you just have to known what happens next. I also enjoyed this book because as the Rat Man (a character in the story) said, "Never believe your eyes, much less you mind, things in this place are not what they seem to be." I think that quote describes much of the story perfectly. I would really recommend this book to imaginative people (as well as the last book) as it is so detail filled that you really won't have time to visualize it all. I would also recommend this book to people who enjoy discovering new things, as this world in the book is so strange, and the book is so entertaining, that you don't even feel the hundreds of pages in it.  My focus on this essay will be the short story of Raymond's Run, it was a story that I didn't really like, bcause it had an incomplete plot. Also it had unrealistic characters, this all made this short story confusing and not interesting.
I thought that this short story was not interesting because the characters were unrealistic, preety flat and not open minded. For example, Squeaky believed that she was perfect, which made me not really like her, being so brazen. Even at the end of the story, when she "gave up" running, she was still insisting that she was good at everything. Also, Gretchen, the antagonist, didn't change much, she kept the same mindset throughout the story. I did grab some sympathy for Raymond though, as he was a nice person that didn't really hurt anyone or cause conflicts. These characters, with their way of being, made the story not take course. I also tought that this story had an incomplete plot because it didn't follow a correct plot line, for example, it didn't follow the ending, when Squeaky "gave up" running, it didn't really come to any resolution, or anything, it just really happens in Squeaky's head. She didn't talk about it to Gretchen, neither to Raymond, thye end is basically incomplete. Also, It was missing a rising action, she just instantly went from being brazen to empathy out of nowhere. I thought that this was unrealistic and didn't make sense. I also didn´t like the ending, even if she had carries out everything. Maybe if she had lost the race, and learned to be a good loser, the ending and resolution of giving up running would have made more sense, also made the story more interesting. My final Conclusion is that the story overall, was incomplete, it was missing a rising action and a proper ending, it didn´t really conlude anything. This made the story boring, not interesting, also caused by the flat characters that didn't carry out the action. I didn't really like the story because of this reasons. |
