Books I Want to Read

Recently, I've been posting many repetitive posts about theme, characters, and analysis, so this post will be about new books that I want to read. If you think of any more good books, write them in the comments section.

Book 1: The Scorch Trials, by James Dashner

At the end of the Maze Runner by James Dashner, (highlight for spoilers),the boys trapped in the Maze realized that it was created by a governmental organization to find people immune to the Flare. Thomas' friend is killed, and the boys believe that they have been rescued.The ending left many things unresolved and kept the reader in suspense. Hopefully The Scorch Trials will provide some answers as to the creation of the Maze and how Thomas is connected with it.





Book 2: Divergent, by Veronica Roth

 I seem to be the only person who hasn't read this series now, and although I know I am unlikely to think it is a well written book, I probably should read it anyway before having any opinions on the story. To me, the story sounds like it has a dystopian hunger games like setting with characters similar to most other young adult novels. I generally have a very negative opinion of most of the books in the current wave of dystopian fiction novels (which lack a logical or consistent plot, and contain unoriginal shallow characters), but maybe this book will not be as bad as it sounds. In any case, I don't want to be the only one who hasn't read this series.

Book 3: Gone, by Michael Grant

Another fairly popular book, Gone seems to have an interesting concept. Everyone over the age of 15 suddenly disappears from a small town in California.Chaos rules over the children who don't know what happened. The descriptions I have read of it so far though are vague, so the I do not know exactly what happens in the book.
