The Scorch Trials is the sequel to the New York Times #1 bestseller “The Maze-Runner,” a USA Today bestseller, and soon to be major motion picture. The Scorch Trails was released on Sept. 18 and is the motion picture adaptation of the second book in Dashner’s Maze-Runner saga.

The Scorch Trials is a highly praised book and is a bestseller. The critical review is enough reason to see this movie anyway.

Jason Best from WhatsOnTV.co.uk said, “It’s thrilling stuff. Working with a bigger budget this time, returning director Wes Ball pumps up the action, delivering exhilarating sequences of flight and fight, including a heart-pounding chase through a ruined mall in which the gang are pursued by zombie-like Cranks, victims of the disease to which the youngsters alone are immune.”

The book follows the storyline of Thomas, Teresa, Minho, and the other “Gladers” as they discover a world that has been burnt by the sun, and is overrun by mindless creatures called cranks. Trying to understand “WICKED” and who put them through the first trial, while also fighting to stay alive,  the “Gladers” must travel a stretch of land called the “Scorch.”

Viewers might like the fact that this book is action packed and full of suspense. Fans of books such as “The Hunger Games” or  “Divergent” must read and watch this series because of the fast paced action and gripping drama this book contains. From epic chase scenes, to unbearably tense situations, this series is one everyone should see.
