The Scorch Trials (The Maze Runner #2) by James Dashner

Synopsis:
Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.

In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety . . . until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.

Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated—and with it, order—and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim . . . and meal.

The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Thomas can only wonder—does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?
This was a good second book. Very well done though I think a lot of it kinda just came off as boring. I mean Thomas was always asleep, it seemed. Like always going in and out of sleep for days. Which wasn't bad but I felt that it could have more details or something.
I sorta wish that book was done from two different views any one else probably would have worked. Like someone in group B or one of the other guys. It probably would have made it more interesting. But not a bad book hope the third one ends a little better though.
Also I think some parts where explained to much. Like way to much to let your mind try and figure it out for yourself. It was like telling you how to feel almost, well that's how I felt with it. It just kind of made me a bit angry I guess I wished it was more explained in other places and less in some places. But the book worked out!
