Finished this one up on the way to visit my ma today and this series just keeps going downhill for me. I'm going to try the prequel novels but this one just didn't do it for me much.

So this isn‘t about the book itself, it‘s actually about the movie. So I was watching it today, and I realized something, if you take certain parts of the whole movie series, and combine them, it could be like a short horror film.

A spectacular book, that 100% is worth the hype. The end sort of ends in a cliffhanger, but not so much that you‘re like, OMG, what happens, and then you get super mad when there‘s not a fourth book. It was so sad, and I loved it! I almost cried in class when I retracted the infamous page 250. It was a great ending to an amazing series, and I loved it all. James Dashner write to prequels, and I might get in those soon. Loved it 🥰

Wow... I am starting to feel like this book is 100% death and 0% cure. I really wanted to post the letter that newt wrote but it was too many words so I couldn‘t. I am so sad that newt dies and I had to reread that page a few times to process it.😭 Just wanted to say that James Dashner could be in potential danger by the fandom. 😈

A great book! The storyline is well thought-out. Characters have good development. There is bit too much fighting for my taste, but I'll have to forgive the writer for that. I won't read any pre- of sequels anymore. The story ends here for me. I'm glad I read (listened to) this series!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The end of the maze runner trilogy , Dashner definitely redeemed himself from the scorch trials which just lost me which is why I think it took me so long to pick this up again and actually when I did I couldn‘t put it down towards the end. Loved the characters , there was a few heart wrenching moments. Still unanswered questions but I‘m guessing they are in the prequel.

This book is about some smart teenagers who are trying to get through a maze, but there is a disease going around that would make people them lose their minds and go crazy, then end up dying. Some, who are really smart were immune to the disease, thus they kept them in a room to monitor how they would act in order that they might be able to make a cure for it.
If you like books that are science fiction and adventurous this book is full of that.

mofi.popoola WICKED is an important motif in this book. So far the plot is basically revolving around it. Thomas was locked in by WICKED so they could monitor his behavior. Even when they were imprisoned they pasted it all as if it were a test for him and his friends. 4y

This is the 3rd book in the Maze Runner series. The book follows Thomas and his friends trying to take down WICKED once and for all. WICKED promises Thomas that they are close to a cure for the Flare Virus, but he doesn't trust them. Thomas has to team up with former enemies and witness the deaths of a few of his friends. The book is action-packed and fast-paced. If you like books that are about action, a dystopian future, and shady companies,

Lance Tapang then this book is for you. The point of view in the book is 3rd person omniscient. It is established by the author by the use of “he“ and “she“ when a character does something. Although Thomas is the main character, we also get to see how Newt, Minho, and Teresa feel as well. 4y
MissYaremcio Great work Lance! This trilogy seems to be a class favourite! 6/6 4y

Such a good finale to a great series. I loved the continuous action and mystery to these books, especially this last one! I really enjoyed the character development, and how the characters interacted with each other, especially the friendships. I loved the plot twists, and the constant edge of your seat feel to it. The pace was fast and the book was way to short for how well written it was. Such an enjoyable series for any fans of dystopian.

“KILL ME!” And then Newt‘s eyes cleared, as if he‘d gained one last trembling gasp of sanity, and his voice softened. “Please Tommy Please”
With his heart falling into a black abyss, Thomas pulled the trigger.

I loved the book up until the ending. I was really upset when Teresa died because I felt that Thomas and her story wasn‘t ready to end. Their story wasn‘t even close to finished and I would have loved to more of Thomas and Teresa because they were both such a huge part of the story. Over all I really enjoyed the series and I give it a 9/10.

Powered_By_Plants Just finished this and feel exactly the same , their connection from the start was so strong , was gutted when she went. I was about 10 pages from the end and thought how are they going to wrap this whole thing up with very little to go. Apparently the prequel answers a few more questions about Thomas and Theresa ☺️ 4y

I rate this book a 10/10 because of how engaging it was and how it concluded the trilogy. I loved the new characters in this book and how they carried the story, I also enjoyed the resolution and how everything played out in the end. I was satisfied with the ending and think the series couldn't have gone much better.

ava.lynn I didn‘t like the ending. I wish Teresa didn‘t die so that they could live the rest of their lives together. After everything that they went through she died in the worst way and it didn‘t seem to affect Thomas to much even though they went through so much. I think there should have been more to Teresa‘s death. I also feel that Thomas didn‘t entirely forgive her for betraying him in the scorch. I think the author could have added more. 5y
phantomx @ava.dalaskey I did not expect Teresa to die, I was bothered by it, but I had to accept it as I kept reading. I also think that Thomas did not entirely forgive her for what happened in the Scorch. 5y
maya.jasmine @phantomx I agree, but in the end Brenda replaced teresa in a way to Thomas. And throughout the series, he was trying to figure out which side she was on, so by killing her off it was like the author took away the guilt between what Teresa did and how Thomas felt. 5y

Just saw the movie for this book that I read a couple years ago, and I gotta say that after the first film, the book series and the movies become COMPLETELY OPPOSITE from each other! Other than highlighting the characters who die, the movie plot is nothing like the books. But it was fun to watch anyway so whatever.

This is one of the best books I've read, it's honestly made me feel too much, with deaths, betrayals, and unexpected returns. This is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it. The death of Newt was the most painful I cried for hours, but I surpassed it or so I think. Read it! It's beautiful and worth it like the other two.

"A few minutes went by in silence as they stared at the vanishing light of day, the sky and water going from orange to pink to purple, then dark blue".

Even though I started reading the books after watching the movies I enjoyed the story just the same.

WildCardz I feel the same way. I enjoyed the movies so much, but then decided to read the books and loved them even more! I wasn‘t shocked by the ending, as I probably would‘ve if I hadn‘t watched the movies, but I liked the books better than the movies. 6y

But let me ask you this - are you telling me that the lives of a few aren't worth losing to save countless more? (...) It's a very old axiom, but do you believe the end can justify the means? When there's no choice left?

Who else has seen The Death Cure?
I read the books years ago, but I can still recognize the enormous difference between the book and adaptation.
It was different, there were some plot holes, but I still enjoyed it heaps, and I'm amazed at how the cast was able to pull it off!

To be honest I feel like this novel was a little worse than the second book in the series, although it was still a good read. By the end of the novel everyone the main character trusts, besides Minho and Brenda, are dead, having succumbed to the scorch and other gruesome deaths. The ending is unexpected, but has a good sense of closure.

I struggled between Pick and So-So with this book. The series itself is a Pick. This book (the last in the series) was kind of blah. There was too much talking and whining about the Flare itself but not a lot of action until the last 10 chapters. I felt that the end goal wasn‘t quite there when the series started, only battling the current issues as they came but not the big picture. Besides the lull, I‘d still read and recommend this book/series.

Not only did Dashner keep you at the edge of the seat until the end, but he provided a great ending to the series! A lot of twists and turn and a lot of sorrow for who doesn‘t make it. However, it gets you excited and slightly in hopes that there might be a continuation! #GladersCanDream. All in all, an excellent read!

Finished death cure! I've now finished the whole series (the first book was definitely my favorite, with this book second and scorch trials last). They navigated deaths and friendships really well, but it seemed like they didn't know how to end it, so they spun it really obscurely. I probably would have written the same thing in their place, but it seems like the writer stuck himself in a corner.
