MORE QUESTIONS! Dashner has only increased the level of mystery and adventure in this sequel. I'm left tortured with questions burning for answers, and I love it! 
 Thomas and his friends continue on their journey, and it almost makes you miss the Maze. The world is in shambles, and the absence of clear good guys and bad guys forces you, and Thomas, to become more suspicious on each page. The action is unstoppable, and there's even a touch of romance in this book that was mostly missing in the first. 
 I cannot WAIT for the final book in this series! As with the first book, highly recommended for teen boys who need adventure and action!
