Maze Runner Series James Dashner 5 Books Collection Set Pack

Product Information

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run. Sometimes when the first book of a trilogy ends on a cliffhanger, I feel compelled to continue. I don't care what happens to Thomas and the rest of the characters. Maybe they'll smoke lots of pot, form a commune, and grow daisies. Maybe they'll turn into Grievers. Maybe they'll run into Katniss and Peeta and become BFFs. First, it was so confusing! There are three different storylines, barely or not at all overlapping, all written so differently as if they all belong in a different book. NO SPOILERS, but Alexandra's storyline made the least sense; nothing happened in each part and the reader wasn't given a shred of context for all these new concepts and terms introduced (not even introduced) with her. I dreaded Alexandra's parts. By the end, none of it made sense! I thought by the end everything would come together but it didn't. I guess there's going to be more books in the series but God I hope not, this was was terrible. If you're STILL here, wow. Thanks. I apologize for my ranting. You may now exit the train. Beware of broken pieces that may have flown off during the collision.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out – and no one's ever made it through alive. What we do get here is a confusing story which introduces way too many new concepts that suggest that previous fans are just that die-hard over the series that they will just trust whatever Dashner writes enough to consume this and wait for a sequel. But when this new series introduction is so weak, I honestly doubt there will be much interest in it going forward. On top of that, one of the biggest gripes that Maze Runner critics have with the series is the persistent heightening of stakes and thrills without satisfying answers or a good payoff at the end. This new installment amplifies that weakness of the series.

Christmas Gifts

So, maybe a third of the way through the book, I developed this false hope that this book would be some kind of pretty metaphor for children going through the grieving process and supporting each other in loss. I thought, “Oh, grievers! Maybe the challenges of the maze and the bonding of the boys in the glade will have some larger message.” No. This book is not about that. It is about doing the NYT games section and then maybe vague talk of zombies later. Total bullshit.

Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there’s something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it’s mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees. James Smith Dashner is an American writer of speculative fiction, primarily series for children or young adults, such as The Maze Runner series and the young adult fantasy series the 13th Reality. The Maze Runner starts off very strongly with Thomas emerging from the box, finding himself in a new world. Attention grabbed. Aris (Named after Aristotle): The only male member of GroupB. He met Thomas in The Scorch Trials. Aris, Thomas, and Teresa are close friends in The Scorch Trials.I have to think this book came out while LOST was still on and before its terrible conclusion, which forced millions of Americans to face the fact that when it looks like a story will have no purpose, it probably has no purpose. I have to think Dashner thought he could bank on the millions of us willing to suspend our skepticism and keep watching a show whose writers clearly had no plan. I am hoping that in the wake of that disaster, we will have grown up a little and be less willing to stand for bullshit like this. Wasn’t it bad enough? Wasn’t the end the peak of our awfulness? Why in the hell did you have to let this book exist[?] James Dashner, of “ The Maze Runner” fame, brings us a new story, the beginning of yet another series, from the same universe. “The Maze Cutter” takes place seventy-five years after the events of “The Maze Runner”, so although you can expect some overlap in locations and situations, the characters are all brand new.

The pointless vilifying of perfectly reasonable characters for the sole purpose of making our special protagonist even more snowflake-ish. It's poor Gally, who's labeled as a "bully" before he's had a chance to do anything even remotely bully-ish except for staring at Thomas with dislike. To cement his unlikeability, Gally is described as physically unattractive - because in shallow books like this one if you look like a villain, you must be one. Gally, whose distrust of Thomas is perfectly logical (if any of the characters would take any time to think about it instead of singing accolades to the Special Snowflake). I will admit that i found some new aspects confusing, but i still enjoyed it overall, and I'm drawn in by the new organisations that have sprouted up following the conclusion of the death cure. I do wish that we got more insight to each of the characters, but i adored the book all the same. Mostly because I'm so fed up with the whole Government-secretly-knew-everything-and-manipulated- every-single-string-to-bring-this-about" A] mysterious survival saga that passionate fans describe asa fusion ofLord of the Flies,The Hunger Games, andLost.”—EWDashner is a master of action sequences. The settings are epic, and although the second book, The Scorch Trails might drag to some, the outcome in the final book is worth working up to. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some, you’re worth more dead than alive.

Isaac is a descendent of the original Maze Runners who landed up at the safety of the island. When a mysterious ship approaches their island, him and a group of representatives leave with the duplicitous captain of the Maze Cutter with the aim of finding a cure for the Flare.
