The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
5.0

the movie was good, but this is so much better and different in every way

I'll admit, I wasn't really keen on reading this series. I don't know why. I enjoyed the movies, but they didn't leave me thinking that I needed to read the books.
I started the first one as more of an obligation. I had bought all four books after all, so why not read them.
I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed the maze runner, but the movie follows the plot quiet similarly but I really did enjoy it. But the scorch trials...
I loved this book. It was different from the movie in every way. I was hooked, I struggled to put it down. It amazes me that a movie adaptation hardly had anything at all from the book. This was fantastic and left me feeling more fulfilled than any movie could. My only regret is I put it off for so long.
