Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale. Thomas and his friends must once more band together to try and overcome all the trials an...
We all have them...characters in books that we are completely in lurve with. So, in the tradition of many book blogger before me, I've decided to include a list of literary characters that I've swooned over.
1. Gilbert Blythe (The Anne of Green Gables series):
Ok, yeah, so EVERY librarian ever is probably going to list him on their crush list. But seriously, he's cute, a "bad boy" (at least in the Victorian sense of the word), smart, and utterly devoted to Anne. What isn't there to love about Gilbert?
2. Edmond Dantes (The Count of Monte Cristo):
The main character of my favorite book ever! He's a good guy, who gets set up, wrongfully imprisoned, breaks out, and sets forth to seek revenge on those that had him locked away. Along the way he learns about forgiveness and true love. I fell in love with Edmond when I was 12 years old, and never got over it. I even named one of my favorite stuffed animals after him.
3. Wallace Wells (The Scott Pilgrim Series):
Wallace Wells is cooler than you are, and he knows it. He's also there to tell you that you are right, the world might just suck....or does it? Whether he is gay stalking his hetero crush, hating on Envy, or just being cool in general, Wallace is awesome. Ramona can have Scott, I'd choose Wallace any day.
4. Gale (The Hunger Games):
Everyone is always Team Peeta, and yeah Gale so gets the short end of the stick in both casting and in the books, but seriously he's the guy who got my vote. Gale was awesome, and actually a boy, and not all girly like Peeta (who was nice, but in a BFF kind of way not in a want to date kind of way). Since I couldn't find a decent picture of Gale online, and since I refuse to use the actor whom they cast, I choose an actor who I think looks like Gale should look like.
5. Fred Weasley (Harry Potter Series):
What girl doesn't want a guy who can make her laugh? And Fred is the funniest, ok well him and George, but I dunno I was always partial to Fred. Plus, he's business smart, what with him and George starting their own business. And again, with that "bad boy" streak, without being really bad. Added bonus, he's the only person on my list that doesn't have dark hair!
What about you guys? Which literary characters have you crushed on?
