    About this audiobook

    Don't miss book three in the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, now a major motion picture starring Dylan O'Brien!

    WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends-the Gladers. But it's finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.

    What WICKED doesn't know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it's enough to prove that he can't believe a word of what they say.

    Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He'll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all.

    The time for lies is over.

    The first two books, The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials, are also #1 worldwide blockbuster movies featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O'Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster!

    Also look for The Fever Code, the much-buzzed-about series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built, and James Dashner's other bestselling series, the Mortality Doctrine: The Eye of Minds, The Rule of Thoughts, and The Game of Lives.

      Excellent story, continually pulling you in, nervously waiting for what was going to happen next and never being disappointed, I found myself re-listening to parts to see if i missed anything, very enjoyable and thrilling.

    • 3/5
      not as good as the 1st or 2nd but still good
    • 3/5
      All books in the series are quite infuriating. Fairly poorly written, and the narrator switches from an Irish accent to a Scottish accent for Newt which is quite annoying. A fairly entertaining listen for a long drive, but the story is aggravating and the characters quite unlikeable.
    • 5/5
      Finished the day I got the book
    • 1/5
      Dashner's series has been highly lauded by a lot of people. Many rate it just below The Hunger Games in action-packed awesome dystopia. Unfortunately, I have never liked it, as is evinced in my review for the second book. I kept hoping I would find something of serious value in it, which is why I read through to the end of the series. In fact, I liked the first book best of all of them.

      Even now, having finished, I feel like so much was never explained or perhaps even though out about what was going on in this world. The ending struck me as incredibly lame and ineffective. There were so many hints about deeper things going on with WICKED and with the Flare. He has all of these dreams/memories that suggest all of this crazy, interesting, horrifying stuff, but nothing else is ever done with that. Perhaps he wanted to leave it open for more books later, but I don't think this was cool at all.

      Anyway, I don't want to continue ranting about this, because, as I said, most people will really love this book and this series. However, if you're in the minority that was not impressed with the first book (or even two), you will not be thrilled with this one either. This series is more about action than explanation or really getting into a well-thought-out new universe.
    • 3/5
      I found the conclusion to the series a very good read, but was somehow left vaguely unsatisfied in the end. The book held up in caliber to the other two in the series though, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction.
    • 4/5
      Thomas is about to get some answers from WICKED--but the answers don't give him the relief he wanted. Does he trust the well-meaning but dangerous group, or the dangerously well-intentioned?

      Last book in the trilogy is slower-paced than the previous two, using a little more of the time for world-building, explanation, and display of just how badly-off the world is. A satisfying conclusion to an action-packed series.

    • 2/5
      Well, that went downhill fast.If you are looking for answers, you won't find many here. Instead, Thomas and Co. lurch from one near-death encounter to another, with a lot of action scenes that could only be interesting to fight scene choreographers. The ending, though, is pretty solid. I like where it went and was mostly believable, so there is that. I'm just not sure that we needed all the desert wandering of the last book combined with all the city wandering of this book. They could have easily been shorter works or even *gasp* only one work. But then how would we have a trilogy?Here's the bottom line: The first book was so darn compelling, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. And it is good enough that it probably justifies
    • 3/5
      I was really excited for this book. I was really looking forward to finally getting some answers and for Thomas to get his memories back, but that doesn't happen. And it made the reading experience not all that enjoyable. There are so many questions left open, and even more questions raised in The Death Cure, but they never get answered. I spent half the book annoyed with Thomas because he refused to get his memories back. It took me over 200 pages to realize that Thomas wasn't stupid and that WICKED was actually the bad guys. I was convinced that WICKED was good (hello Teresa?!) until I was well into the book. There was one part where Brenda held Thomas back to have a private conversation with him, and was about to tell him something important about her past, but Thomas stops her, refuses to let her tell him. At that point in the story, I figured we would hear what Brenda wanted to tell him later, I thought she was going to tell him that Chancellor Paige was her mom or something, but we are never told what she wanted to tell him. What was the point of even having that little scene in there then? Even at the very end of the story, I felt like Dashner was trying to hint that Brenda knew more than what she was saying, but it's never shown. It just ends. UGH!I didn't completely hate the book. There were moments when I was really into the book. But that was just because I was driven to read by the false hope that some questions would be answered. I kept waiting for a twist, but it never came.
    • 4/5
      Thomas and his closest allies are trying to figure out what is going on with WICKED. Is it truly trying to save e human race from extinction? Are the members of the Red Arm looking to save the world? Thomas and a few others have discovered that they are immured from the Flare which causes people to go completely insane. The leaders in WICKED feel that Thomas is their best chance to find a cure and will stop at nothing to use him. (This is the fastest moving of the series. It did, however, need to end!)
    • 3/5
      This book had the same nonstop action as the other two books in the series. I felt like some of the obstacles were a little far-fetched...silver globs turning your head into a "bowling ball"? Really? After the first two books, I was a little bit tired of the chase so to speak, but was too curious to find out how this would all turn out to stop reading. I felt like the ending came too quickly without all the pieces being fit together. This being said, I enjoyed the read and am working on the prequel.
    • 2/5
      Left a lot of unanswered questions. I wish the author would have gone into more depth about some of the characters that started as main characters and then just kind of fizzled out. I was disappointed in the ending, it just didn't feel right.
    • 3/5
      I read the first book a few years ago, and did not enjoy it that much. The plot was cool but slow. The ending was too gorry with vivid description of death and battles. Normally I would be go for with battles and actions but everything was overdone.When I finally got around reading the second book, it was brilliant. Sure, there was few gross head-cutting description but it was suspenseful. I never knew what danger was going to appear in the scorch. To tell you the truth I was scared of reading the book at night, but it was a good kind of scare.The ending of the second was really good, frustrating but good. I immediatly wanted to read the last book but didn't get a chance until now.The third book started out REALLY boring. James seemed to force some action into it by describing awesome guns and the fight between the guards and the children. It was not working. :(When the children finally get to see what the world was like, it was just as boring as the most boring part in the second book, which was when Brenda and Thomas was at that stupid club. BORING! Oh, this reminds me of the stupid back and forth of Thomas' relationship between the two girls. Thomas was such a winer! Oh, I hate Teressa because she betrayed me. Oh I feel for Brenda but I don't know, she betrayed me too. I got sooooo sick of this and that was just few chapters in (this is extremely bad when the chapters are short).I also did not like how the plot slowed because of Newt. I'm not going to say anymore....I did not have a connection between the book. When people died, I felt that I did not care at all whether they died or suffered. I have to say that I was caught off guard by the closing section of the book but it didn't make up some of the disappointing parts in the book.The ending was predictable after it was revealed, if you know what I mean. It was a quasi-original ending. You will think that "oh cool, wait, that is a lot of the Hollywood movie endings...boo?"There were sad, surprising, and scary parts but overall, it was not as good as the second one but I guess it was ok a book.3.5 out of 5 stars.PS: a better trilogy got to be Atherton trilogy by Patrick Carman.
    • 4/5
      James Dashner sure knows how to hook a reader. I put off reading The Death Cure for a long time because I remembered how heart-pounding The Scorch Trials were (I seemed to be in a minority in liking it, but I really did). Then, when I saw (and got my hands on) a copy of The Kill Order I decided it was time to buckle down and read.Y'all, I'm glad I decided to wait, because after I finish this review I am diving right into The Kill Order to find some answers. Not that I didn't get any with The Death Cure - I just know there are more out there. And, to be fair, I can't fault Dashner for doing it this way. There was a lot of stuff that needed to happen in this book, and as much as I wanted the easy way out offered in the beginning, a nagging voice in my head realized that would just be too easy.And so I settled back and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I went through twists and turns and hating some people and liking them and not knowing how to trust - basically I lived through Thomas. That "living through" thing is what makes books like this so exciting - and once again I sat on my sofa, thoroughly caught up in this story that wouldn't release me. I walked from room to room when called, nose in the book, ate my dinner with it propped up and battled sleepytime in the afternoon and at bedtime to finish it up. And I do not regret a single minute of it.So, in spite of his playing with my emotions and toying with me for 300+ pages, I tip my hat to James Dashner and thank him for one heckuva ride.
    • 5/5
      This book, I had been wanting to read ever since it came out but I just didn't want to see this series end. Seeing where Wicked will take these kids next. Will they survive, or will this last book end their story.The plot is one of the main things that I love most about this story. I find it fast moving, and it has me never wanting to put down the book for one second. With all the twists and turns this book has and finding out what will happen to Thomas and his fellow friend has me on my toes till the very end. Cranks! These things literally give me nightmares. I remember after the second book, how I was having troubles sleeping and now after reading this book, I might need to sleep with a night light. (Scardey Cat! I know) This book did have something that made me gasp really loud and almost made me put it down to think about what happened. I wasn't expecting this. This book is filled with action, adventure, betrayal, the will to survive, and an ending that isn't happy nor sad. So make sure you check out this book and give it a try. I give this book 5 souls!
    • 5/5
      Great finish. This series throws twists at you until the very end. Loved it.
    • 2/5
      ** THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE BOOK ***BOOK DESCRIPTIONSPOILER ALERT: This review assumes you have read the first two books in this trilogy. If you haven’t, then I wouldn’t read this review.With the Maze Trials and the Scorch Trials finished, WICKED (personified by The Rat Man) is ready to give Groups A and B their memories back and finish the blueprint for a cure for the Flare. Yet Thomas and his friends (most notably Newt and Minho) are so distrustful of WICKED that they opt to attempt an escape instead. With Teresa and the others ready to get their memories back and trust WICKED, Thomas, Newt and Minho find themselves on their own, accompanied by Brenda and Jorge. As they flee WICKED and head to Denver, more details about this new Flare-infested world begin to reveal themselves, and Thomas has some difficult decisions to make.MY THOUGHTSTHE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN AFTER I READ THE BOOK BUT BEFORE I FOUND OUT SOME CRITICAL INFORMATION:Shame on you, James Dashner! I was disappointed with how you chose to conclude the series. I kept waiting and waiting for Thomas to get his memory back and tell us everything about his involvement with WICKED and then you copped out! Color me disappointed. Perhaps you weren’t too sure yourself and decided to just skip over the nitty-gritty details, but, as a reader, I wanted to know the full back story, and it annoyed me when I didn’t get it.About two-thirds of the way through, when I realized that I wasn’t going to get what I wanted in this book, I’ll admit that I kind of checked out. The format of one close call after another started to annoy me. Ending almost every single chapter with a cliffhanger began to grate on my nerves, and I realized that I didn’t care all that much about Thomas or his friends anymore. And when you started dispatching characters left and right, I let them go with nary a tear. In the end, this was a trilogy that started strong and got steadily weaker. Blech.THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN AFTER I FOUND OUT SOME CRITICAL INFORMATION:OK, James Dashner. Now I’m really pissed. At first when I finished your trilogy, I thought you just couldn’t come up with the back story about Thomas’s relationship with WICKED. You kept teasing us and teasing us but never delivered the goods. Then, Alyce at At Home With Books filled me in on WHY we didn’t get the payoff promised throughout the trilogy: You’re writing a prequel (The Kill Order) and doing a money grab and stretching out the “trilogy” with another book! Shame shame shame!! I really feel that you copped out and saw that, once The Maze Runner was a big hit, that you could stretch this all out and get another book out of it. That is why Thomas never chooses to get his memories back, isn’t it? Well, I think that sucks. And I won’t be buying The Kill Order. I’m done with this series. You owed us the full story and you held it back and gave us a mediocre, unsatisfying third book and I say “Boo on that.” Harumph.P.S. I don’t know if you can see it, but the book cover for The Death Cure says “The Final Book of the Maze Runner Trilogy.” To which I say, “bulls**t!”About the Narration: Mark Deakins was the narrator and did an OK job. He did a good job giving various characters different voices (Newt with an Irish accent??) I didn’t have any real problems with the narration … just the book itself.
    • 4/5
      I read Scorch Trials and this one back to back, so I was very fresh on the last story. I wasn't quite as crazy about the Death Cure. I feel like the character of Teresa was so different from the girl we'd come to know in the previous two books. I also thought that Thomas was a little off, but who can blame him after all he's been through. I found it so unbelievable that Thomas wouldn't want to get his memories back. It seemed almost like you could have skipped the whole middle of the book if he hadn't decided that. Besides the gripes I already mentioned, I thought the book was great. There was a lot of action, parts that ripped at my heart, and a pretty cool ending. I'm excited to see what's to come in the Kill Order.
    • 3/5
      After being stuck in a maze and being forced to make it through the Scorch, the survivors are stuck at WICKED headquarters and given an offer to get their memories returned. Thomas decides not to get the memories back and he, along with some buddies, go on the run to try to find another way to bring down WICKED. I think I need a break from dystopia for awhile and maybe that's why this book didn't hook me in. I really liked The Maze Runner, but seemed to have lost interest in the rest of the series. The trilogy does wrap up in this installment after several twists and turns. Word is a prequel is on the way.
    • 4/5
      In the finale of the Maze Runner trilogy, Thomas finds himself struggling to figure out who is telling the truth as he and his friends recover from their experiences in the Scorch. WICKED has offered to return their memories, but can Thomas trust them?There are lots of twists and turns to the plot, tons of action and some horrifying destruction. I can’t say much without spoiling the plot, but I will say that I found the ending a bit unsatisfactory. Still, overall, this is an exciting roller coaster ride that ties up (most) of the loose ends that have been dangling throughout the trilogy.
    • 4/5
      Not as good as the second book, but still good. Once you start this series, you're kind of committed to following it all the way through and I'm glad I did! Worth the read!
