The Scorch Trials by James Dashner?

[Sydney Rose]

Anyone else heard of this series??
The first book is called the Maze Runner and the second is the Scorch Trials
and if you haven't read them do it now because they are AMAZING!!!!!!

Anyway, if anyone out there has read the Scorch Trials we should really discuss it here because it was a crazy mindboggle and i wanna hear theories for the sequel and opinions and all that fun stuff :)

I haven't read the series or even heard it, but it always saddens me when I see a post without at least one reply. DFTBA.

i preordered scorch trials now and have to wait another 3 weeks till i get it :but i just LOVED the maze runner!!! the story is just incredible. do you know where i could read the scorch trials online? because i don't want to wait another 3 weeks :(

[Clover]

I've heard of the series! I bought The Maze Runner months ago but haven't had a chance to read it as yet..

[Ray Dansinger]

it's insane!! have you read the hunger games? when you liked the series you will love the maze runner

[Sydney Rose]

oh yeah it's just as good (if not better) than the hunger games!!! the second one's a lot more gory than the first one in my opinion but it's SO good!

[Ray Dansinger]

i only read the maze runner because the scorch trials isn't available in europe. :( but still i think i never read something so thrilling and exciting and once i#ve started i had to read the whole book because i just couldn't stop reading . but i can't imagine that the whole series can stay as good as the first book...

i found an pdf doc. of it on the net and just finished reading it.
and i hate the ending!
i thought he would answer some questions! instead i'm even more confused...

i only have one theory and i try to explain it but i'm not sure if you'll get what i'm trying to say.
so the flare is an illness that destroys the brain somehow. and wicked is always talking about "patterns" so i thought maybe they put the gladers into borderline situations(e.g. near death experieces, social structure in the glade, "the betrayal", etc.) so parts of the brain gets stimulated and after finishing the trials the gladers have a certain brain pattern that can defeat the flare?

i just can't see how a bunch of kids could save the world and why they let 12 year olds invent the trials. and what kind of memories makes wicked so sure that everybody will be fighting for them? and i'm also really confused about teresa...
do you have any theories?

[Sydney Rose]

i have no theories since my mind is still blown by the ending of the book!
but i agree with your theory, they have some kind of superior brains that can mentally defeat the flare or something.
*Major Spoilers*
what really confused me was that brenda chick speaking telepathically with thomas at the end.... like what the fuck? where did that come from?? and thomas is like catching the flare so they lock him up, urg i can't wait for the next one and i can't wait for answers and for thomas and teresa to get back together!!

[Ray Dansinger]

didn't they say that they all are imune to the flare? i think they put thomas away because he quit playing the games of wicked or something like that. and i also was totally confused about brenda... do you think she is rachel? or just another variable?
in the beginning i thought thomas was so special because he was able to communicate with teresa but now i think it's just another invention of wicked. maybe he has a chip in his head that activates it? i really hoped that scorch trials would solve some mysteries but now i'm just more confused than ever!

[Sydney Rose]

brenda is a total mystery to me.... maybe she is rachel! as stupid as it sounds i really hadn't thought of that before you said it. although she could be another variable... or maybe they like wiped her memory and threw her into the city because she turned on wicked like thomas. urg so many more questions than answers!!
i really don't like that teresa and that guy... his name escapes me adn the books upstairs. But the male equivalent of teresa. he bugs me. and i don't like him and teresa communicating because i so agreed with thomas that it was a special thing between him and teresa and now it's not.
i can't wait for the next one though, then hopefully i won't be this confused :)

I don't think Brenda is Rachel because if Aris really loved Rachel so much he would have been like ZOMG RACHEL when he saw her and he wasn't, so...I think Brenda is really Brenda. I think she probably is part of WICKED, or at least teamed up with them after they got rescued or something, but I also really don't like Teresa. At all.

I think they just told them they have the flare so they'll cooperate and they don't really have it. Really want to read The Death Cure likenaow so I can find out what's going on.
