by James DashnerSummary: This sequel to The Maze Runner leaves off exactly where the first ends. The guys are told they have been infected with The Flare, a disease that will turn them into Cranks, crazied zombie-like creatures intent on killing whatever is in their path. WICKED gives them a new trial--make a 100 mile trip in two weeks, and they will be given the cure. No Grievers this time, but if you read the The Maze Runner, you know there's no way all the boys will survive to the end, and the horrible deaths are spine chilling. Betrayal, adventure, suspense--these books have it all!
My thoughts: Great sequel! Not quite as good as the first book, but that's usually the way it works. I still enjoyed revisiting these characters, though, and there are definitely some surprises. Fair warning: the story isn't over yet, so don't expect to get all the answers this time.
