The kill order by James dashner

Read the book a few days ago and basically it tells about a few events before actually the Flare Virus broke free rampant on the world.

Describes how the government actually spread the initial virus so that they could kill enough people in the world for it to be able to support the rest. Since the resources were scarce and all.

It was a stupid idea altogether and I would never support that anyway. Killing half of the planet so the remaining half can survive?

Strong will survive anyway and weak will succumb to the hardships so they should have just waited it out.

So anyways there was a lot of killing and turns out that Teresa was one of the first people to be discovered as an immune to the virus.

A group of four people set out to protect her too in the midst of their own efforts to survive where everything seems impossible.

Too many people die but they are able to send her off through the flat trans (flat transportation through a portal from one place to another) but die in the end.

It was heart breaking to know that the little girl they saved after so much trouble, death and suffering just had to die for nothing on the end and they never get the cure either. (Teresa dies in the 3rd book right in the end).

Quite a disappointing end but the story comes closer to perfection like that i suppose.

The Death Cure (The Maze Runner) ending!

I would have to say that reading the trilogy things felt very natural and the flow was good.

I was so interested in the novel that I finished the books in a week.

Although I felt at times that other characters were not explained as much at times. Which is completely fine as it is completely up to the author as much as he wants to describe his creations.

Thomas played a very heroic part in the first novel but I kept on expecting same kind of special deeds from him that would make me jump up from my seat but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Still Thomas as a character was amazing and did everything right. Can't say there was anything wrong with him at all.

I was hoping Teresa and Thomas would have reconciled after a certain point of time. Even if they didn't I was okay with it but the way she died in the end seemed as if the novel was being climaxed in a hurry.

Would have been a much happier ending if she had lived. Poor girl though.

Otherwise ending was perfect. It was obvious that the cure wasn't coming. I never thought how getting brain patterns would help create a drug which would resolve the issue with the flare.

A better line of action would have been working on the lines of "bliss" acting as a numbing agent that would help people control their anger.

People could have been isolated instead of immunes being captured the sick could have been experimented on.

It just doesn't make sense to run tests on people who are already fine instead of people who are sick.

Anyway, still it was amazing. Hats off to James Dashner. Good job!

Still gotta read The Kill Order...
