The Death Cure Evaluation by John Brownridge

The Death Cure, the third and last book in the Maze Runner series. It follows it's main character, Thomas in his adventures in trying to stop Wicked. Without giving spoilers, I think the book is very good. The beginning is very action packed, and starts to reveal more and more about Thomas's past through flashbacks and dreams. The middle of the books gives some good reveals, and still kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It completely changes settings, and I was a bit confused about why they acted normal, even though this place was like nothing they have ever seen or remembered. The ending can be a little slow paced at times, and there are some parts that I wish had more time spent on. The very ending part was kind of satisfying, but again, not much time is spent on it. The epilogue gives an interesting perspective on the main plot point of the whole series, and made me think about themes that could be connected to the real world. I highly recommend this book.

    I don't know who this is, but I agree with your ideas. I've read the Death Cure before and I think it's a great way to end the Maze Runner series. It outdoes the other books in detail, characters, and plot and gives the reader a satisfying (but also sad) ending. It is filled with action and also uncovers the mysteries from the past Maze Runner books.

    I have never read the Maze Runner series or watched the movies before, but I think I might after reading this review. It sounds like an interesting and suspenseful dystopian novel. I liked that in your review you listed everything that appealed to you but at the same time cons of the book so readers get a good idea if the book is for them or not.

    I remember reading this book and being literally reading it start to finish in one day for five hours straight. I could not stop turning the pages. I disagree with you when you say the end is satisfying. I remember being slightly satisfied, but very upset because of all the beloved characters lost along the way. There were times when the characters actions seemed out of place, but overall the book was amazing. Great post, this review is one of the best I have read.

Partials Review

John Brownridge

    For the past couple of weeks, I have been reading Partials by Dan Wells. This is my review.     Partials is a book that follows sixteen-year-old Kira, who is a medic. She lives in a world that takes place in the distant future, after the human population has been reduced to thousands. This is because of the Partials, genetically engineered human beings who were made to serve in the military, but then turned on the humans. The humans and the Partials went to war, and during the war, the Partials created a virus called RM, to which they are immune, that affects humans. The only humans remaining also have immunity.   Because all of the babies die of RM shortly after birth, the government is desperately trying to find a cure, by making people have as many babies they can, starting at sixteen years old. Kira works in maternity and runs tests on the babies until they eventually die. She is contempt with her job until her friend Madison becomes pregnant. After ...

The Phantom Tollbooth Review - Jashan Takhar

Due to popular opinion among my classmates at the time, I expected The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster to be a "really awesome good book" as a 5th grader several years ago. I read it, understood some of it, did not love it, and forgot it. The older-style writing bored me very quickly and I had thought back then that to fully enjoy a book it had to be fifteen years or younger. Now, going back to this children's classic, I can now comprehend the genius world-building and execution of The Phantom Tollbooth . Milo is a normal boy, who is extremely bored one day when he finds a strange package addressed to him that he does not know the contents of. He finds a tollbooth that he has to put together inside as well as a small electric car. He finishes the tollbooth, steps inside, and is immediately transported to the Lands Beyond. He finds himself suddenly driving on a road, an activity that he enjoys and thus continues doing. Little does he know that he is about to make new ...
