Book Review: The Maze Runner Files by James Dashner

June 14, 2016 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

Book Review Maze Runner Files James Dashner

Maze Runner Files is the story of how the flare came to be and is told in bleeped out recording transcripts and inter-office WICKED memos. It was so creepy. I haven't been creeped out that much since the bridge of Khazad-dûm in Lord of the Rings (I'm talking about book not the movie.) It talks ... Read More »

Book Review: A Mutiny in Time by James Dashner

November 8, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

A Mutiny in Time is a story about 3 kids who travel back in time to fix history before the world ends.  I liked the twist in this story that unlike traditional time-travel stories, they are supposed to change things. The historic details that aren't accurate amused me. I think a lot of kids would be clever enough ... Read More »

Book Review: The Death Cure by James Dashner

October 20, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free, even if you haven't read the first two books. The Death Cure is quite the emotional roller coster. It was completely unpredictable and surprising, which I love.   So gripping and heart-pounding that I finished it in almost one sitting. One of the most intense books that I've ever read. It took me on ... Read More »

Book Review: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

October 19, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read book #1, The Maze Runner. If you thought James Dashner couldn't top the action and intensity from The Maze Runner, he does.  You learn so much about the world and the characters but the question that will bug you through the whole thing is WHY? Why is all this ... Read More »
