Book two in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!
 
   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.
   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.
   There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
   Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.

The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The third movie, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit screens in 2018.

The zombies were very creepy and it was still so awesome even though some things were kind of scary. I recommend it.

I whant to read it.

I enjoyed the Maze Runner and can't wait to read the Scorch Trials. I Maze Runner ended in such a way that you want it makes you want to know what happens to the characters. Plus it will answer all the questions I have about why they put the teens in the Maze in the first place. Hope to read this book soon. I would love to here what others think that have read this book.

scared bunny scared bunny

noseless people that want to eat you not as scary as 3rd book

This book I think was my least favorite but I still liked it. The Scorch is not what they are used to so I enjoyed seeing how they adjusted to the new area. This is a wonderful adventure book.

This is a very good adventure book. The gladers escape the maze to find that the world is in chaos because of sun flares giving people a disease that makes them become flesh- bitten and insane.

not as good as first but still good

it was totally just as good!

A VIOLENT BOOK! After he escapes,he fined the sudden truth about the world:a disease has ravaged the earth,making almost everyone become rouge and kill each other.Now,in the middle of a deserted city,he has to survive with the weak hope that WICKED,the people who captured him,may have a cure.

You forgot to say "spoiler alert."

This book is a little animated and violent,but over all it is a good book.It is about a boy who finds himself in a maze,after losing his memory.He tries to get out of it....but is the real world really better than he has now?

This book is just as good as the first i Love this series:)
