Why I chose this book:
Next in the series
My personal opinion (the review):
Major characters are dropping like flies- don't get attached! And the point to all of these experiments is getting harder to see. But I don't mean for this review to be all negative. The story is good, the love connection is still there (for those that need some romance in a good book), and Thomas is as unbeatable as ever. Hurry through this one so you can get to the next. In fact, be sure you have access to the third one around the time you start this one- you won't want to have any wait time.

Warnings:
Language - mostly mild euphemisms
Violence - medium, and some of it graphic
"Adult" situations - none
Death - if you've gotten this far in the series, you've learned not to get attached to any character

The Maze Runner. Less violent, not a total cliffhanger!
