Death Cure

Lidt skuffende i forhold til de to andre. Er stadig bitter og en persons død og det er nok derfor den 'kun' får tre stjerner. Der er et par overraskelser her og der, men … eaj må indrømme at slutning var lidt skuffende fordi løsning til problemet er frustrerende. Efter alt den research så ender de med en løsning… der gør mig bitter, fordi jeg føler at mange personers død kunne være undgået.

Anmeldelsen indeholder spoilers! Så fik jeg endelig læst hele trilogien. Og her til sidst må jeg indrømme at jeg sidder med en lidt halvdårlig smag i munden. Serien lagde så godt ud i The Maze Runner med et virkelig spændende og originalt plot, og jeg kunne næsten ikke vente med at læse videre. Siden da gik det desværre kun ned ad bakke. The Scorch Trials var en god toer og jeg tilgav den en hel del fejl fordi jeg havde været så glad for etteren. Der var action og spænding, og det var fedt, men jeg håbede nu alligevel at treren ville være bedre. Det var den desværre ikke. The Death Cure var sådan set lige så fuld af action som de to første bøger, men alligevel virkede den ufuldendt. Den lagde lidt skidt ud, da Thomas nægtede at få sine minder tilbage. Indtil nu har serien vist ham som en modig og nysgerrig person, der har gjort hvad han kunne for at han og hans venner kom helskindede igennem alt hvad WICKED udsatte dem for. Det her er altså fyren der frivilligt ville ud i labyrinten og som blev derude om natten for at prøve og hjælpe sine to nye venner, selvom det kunne koste ham livet. At han pludselig nægtede at få sine minder igen fordi han ikke ville vide hvilken person han tidligere var, virkede direkte modstridende med hvem vi indtil nu havde fået at vide at han var. Som minimum skulle man tro at han ville have dem igen, hvis der kunne være noget som helst information der, der kunne redde hans venner. Herefter fortsætter bogen sådan set fint nok, og alt er spændende og fængende lige indtil Thomas og de andre render ind i Theresa og resten af de to testgrupper. Læseren bliver aldrig helt klog på Theresas motiver eller på hvad der egentlig er sket efter de to grupper kom fra hinanden, og dette virker faktisk mere som en fejl end som et bevidst valg - som om der er noget forfatteren har glemt at skrive. Bogen slutter noget tamt og konstrueret og den efterlod i hvert fald mig med følelsen af: "var det bare det?" Jeg vil helt sikkert anbefale at man læser den hvis man er begyndt på serien, for alt i alt er det en god serie og den fortjener at man læser afslutningen, selvom den lader sig noget tilbage at ønske.

The maze runner was good The scorch trials was REALLY GOOD And the death cure just finished it all in a heart-breaking, action, emotional and perfect way.  Loved it and was by far the best book of them all.

I’ve enjoyed reading the Maze Runner series despite all its faults and flaws… but I’ve decided to only give this last book of the trilogy 3 stars, because I found it a bit disappointing to be honest, I did not hate it, but it was definitely not impressed.  I’ve come to the conclusion that this series is based on an amazing and really interesting idea but was not followed through the right way, unfortunately. I think that this series would have been so freaking incredible if it was written from different perspectives, 1st person that is. If Dashner had written some from the perspective of Thomas, some from Minho, some from Newt, Teresa, even the f****** Rat Man! this would have helped me sympathize with the characters, when someone died I didn’t care… I didn’t know them, they’re just fictional characters… That really sucked! I love crying over a book, and this book did not make me cry once… it was close once, but that was only because of Minho being really nice to Thomas, who btw is pretty annoying… I mean, who made him the boss? What makes him so special? Minho is the only character that I cared for. It also felt a bit weird that Thomas was so invested with the death of his friends, whom he’d known for like two seconds, and everyone else seems to go on fine, even though they’ve known them for longer, like two years longer than Thomas… I did not feel any real connection between Thomas and the other people, which a first person narrative might have fixed… This entire book was pretty much; them being close, someone attacking them, slight delay, moving on, repeat… At the end of the book I wanted to know what happened but was really annoyed by the delays, and when it finally happened it wasn’t that big of a deal… Without spoiling anything; the thing you’re waiting for, it’s not going to happen, so don’t bother reading this book. I mean, you can, but it’s not going to be worth it… On a more positive note! I really liked Minho, and in a way he made Thomas more bearable because he really liked him. But it might be because of his sarcasm that I liked him, because I love me some sarcasm. I really think that the Maze Runner series has great potential as a movie/movies (I haven’t seen the movie yet), because a lot will be edited out and the more important and interesting things will be selected. And they might do a better job and character building and likeability… So I’m really looking forward to the movie/movies! Overall I liked the series, but I am definitely not in love with it… I enjoyed it and that’s that. I do think that The Scorch Trials was the best of the series, simply because of the invention of the Flare, which is a great idea, but again; it was not followed through very well… (P. S. I’ll still be reading The Kill Order.)
