The Scorch Trials ~ James Dashner (The Maze Runner #2)
★★☆☆☆
Oh my this was complete crap. At least the first book was enjoyable.
I don't really have too much to say other than that the movie is completely different but way better in every way. An ideal example of this is Brenda's character. In the movie, she is an actual person and I quite liked her, in the book, she's ridiculous and instalovey, with extreme moments of inappropriate for the situation and uncalled for "sexual tension" with Thomas. She doesn't feel like an actual human being in any way.
The plot, besides all that, is nonsensical and confusing. I don't understand WICKED's plan whatsoever. There's a lot of "what" that makes no sense but even more confusing is the "why". This doesn't feel realistic at all. It would make more sense if WICKED was just a psycho cult torturing the Gladers just for kicks and giggles.
And why on Earth do all the cranks introduce themselves as cranks? Wtf? It's just so comical and stupid.
