The Death Cure

     


        The Death Cure written by James Dashner is the third book in the Maze Runner trilogy. The Death Cure is about a boy named Thomas who is immune to The Flare, a disease that is threatening the human race. The Flare slowly makes one go crazy and basically turns him or her into a zombie. Thomas was put into a few different trials to see how his brain reacted to each so that an organization named WICKED could find a cure to The Flare. In this final book Thomas escapes from WICKED and teams up with another organization called the Right Arm, which tries to destroy WICKED. While teamed up with the Right Arm, Thomas and the Right Arm make a plan to stop WICKED once and for all. Thomas is faced with many obstacles, but is able to overcome them with the help of his friends Minho, Brenda, Newt, and Jorge.
        This book is very entertaining, and the author leaves a little cliff hangar at the end of every chapter which makes you want to keep reading, but it has a few problems that I didn't like. In this book there were many deaths that go into detail that may be a little bit disturbing to some people. Also, the people that have gotten The Flare, go crazy and are a like zombies. In one scene it talks about a person that has The Flare, that is eating another person.
        I personally, didn't like this book as much as the others in this series. I gave this book a B+ because in this book the author focused on the people with The Flare a lot and made them seem as if they were zombies, where as in the other books he didn't make them seem like zombies. Although I have made this book seem horrible, it is actually very interesting, and is a cool book. I wouldn't recommend this book, unless you like zombies, and gore, but if you've read the other two books in the series then you've got to finish the trilogy!

This book seems very interesting. You did a great Book Report. I liked how you told us the good and the not so good parts. Though I personally do not like gore I do like adventure. It is surprising that a boy does not like zombies and gore. I will try to read these books and see if I like it.

Wow this book sounds really cool! Thanks for telling us about a couple negative things that we should watch for. You did a really good job of giving a great summary of the book too. I will definitely be reading this book soon.
