I did not enjoy The Scorch Trials as much as I did The Maze Runner. The beginning of the book was frustrating to me and boring. Seemed like there was a lot of waiting around and nothing more was really explained or added to about the mystery of WICKED for the first half of the book. I wasn't gripped till I was about 75 % done with the book and only then I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to figure out what the heck a killzone was! Teressa brutality in "pretending" to kill Thomas was a little much, and the descriptions of the monstors with the light bulbs on them was silly. I am not attached to the characters at all, but I have to find out what is going on! So I will read the next book!
