The Death Cure


The flare is a disease that attacks the mind and will turn countless humans into a mindless monster. It will eventually kill the human race if not stopped. WICKED is and organization that has been trying to find a cure. To accomplish this hey took the best teens in the world, and wiped their memories. Then they tested them in extreme situations to see how they reacted. Then they took the results and tried to create a cure. Thomas (the main character) and his friends were one of the groups that went through these tests. Now WICKED may have good intentions, but they are willing to go to almost any ends to find this cure. Because of this Thomas, and his friends go through multiple deaths and betrayals. After the tests are over, most of them don't trust wicked in the slightest. Thomas and his friends are willing to fight WICKED to make sure that they go no further.

This is a great book that was very exciting. It is a post-apocalyptic fiction book that I thought was interesting, exciting, and scary. If you like the types of books that are like the Hunger Games, then this book is for you. It was a book that was a little sad, but it had a very good ending that made it a good book. I also think that the sensory details in the action scenes were amazing.One thing to be warned about though is that the violence and the graphic scenes in this book wouldn't exactly be G rated. I personally like that better, but you might have a different opinion.

This book had many opinions that had to do with trust. One of them was that once someone has done something horrible to you, you will never trust them again. I do agree that this is a valid opinion. If someone does something so horrible to you that it gives you nightmares every night, then I could easily see how someone could never trust someone again. Especially if it is a murder of a friend or family member.


The last thing that this book brings up is that rebellion against authority is a good thing when authority is corrupt. This is perhaps one of the best lessons this book taught. It was also taught in the Hunger Games in pretty much the same way. It shows that sacrifice for something that is right is necessary. But at the same time it shows that too much sacrifice can be bad, especially if the sacrifice isn't helping.


Even though this book has some negative sides, it is still an amazing book. It teaches some good life lessons that would help a lot of people. It was an amazing book with tons of action that could challenge a Star Wars movie. Also, don't get discouraged because of how sad this book gets in the middle, it gets really good at the end. I really hope that you read this series and book.

I read the Maze Runner and absolutely loved it! The only thing I didn't like about the Maze Runner was the ending, because it didn't answer any questions. I felt like it just...ended.(I explained that in my book review also) But you made this book sound really fun and I am so excited to read it!

Great Review! This book sounds sort of confusing, is it worth reading?

Because this is the third book in the series it is a little confusing, but when you read the other two it makes perfect sense, I hope you read it
