 The Kill Order (The Maze Runner #0.5) By   James Dashner My Rating: 5 Genre: YA, Sci Fi, Dystopia, Fantasy Finished on: Feb 11th, 2015 James Dashner. This Book. I... have no words. I honestly don't. I still don't believe I actually got done with this book. I remember after finishing TDC I had vowed myself to never read James Dashner's read again. TMR was a nightmare I could never forget. It was hard to come out of the world Dashner had pulled me into. I was stuck, I couldn't get out. And maybe this was the reason I had chosen to read TKO. I don't know which crazy part of my mind had felt that this read might be the solution or the missing piece of the puzzle for me to get out of this nightmare. I was wrong, so wrong. It just made it worse, much worse. This book described the origin of it all. I couldn't help but recount TMR and the characters and the pain I felt along with them. This book was a cruel joke. In TMR Thomas kept hoping there would be a cure and I k...

 The Death Cure   (The Maze Runner #3) By   James Dashner My Rating: 5 Genre: YA, Fantasy, Sci Fi, Dystopian Finished on: 12th Sep, 2014 I AM SPEECHLESS. Okay, this review will take long as I didn't review TMR and TST too well as I was too impatient to read the next one. Since TDC is the end of the trilogy, here goes my review. When I first read TMR, all I did was cry at the end of every chapter. I just couldn't imagine living in the place Thomas did. In the beginning when he tries to recall  his parent's face, his siblings - if he had any - and his school. My heart numbed already. You see, I was imagining myself in Thomas's place. And that sucked. I didn't have any idea what the story was about in the beginning. Nobody even volunteered to answer poor Thomas's endless questions, and honestly, I was  screaming with frustration along with him too. When the story started getting clear, I could get a good picture of it, and asked myself. Why on earth would thes...

 The Scorch Trials (The Maze Runner #2) By   James Dashner My Rating: 4 Genre: YA, Sci Fi, Dystopian. Fantasy Finished on: 8th Sep, 2014 This book. All in all, too good. Now I started admiring James Dashner. Disappoint me with the story or not, he surely makes me smile with every sarcasm he filled in this book. And as TMR, this book too took me by surprise from the beginning. From the point Teresa got replaced by Aris, till the end. The concept was spectacular. Am honestly impressed. Every line of every page I read with my nails being bitten by my teeth, wondering what's gonna happen now? I silently hoped whatever happens, Newt and Minho should survive. I like them so much! Their bravery is worth a standing ovation, apart from Thomas's obviously. However, since Thomas was shot, I lost the count of the times he passed out. Once? Aww. Twice? Get well soon Tommy. Centuryth time? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU. JUST WAKE UP. Honestly, I felt like diving inside the pages and asking him...
