    I chose to read the Death Cure because I had previously read the first two books of the series by James Dasher, the Maze Runner and the Scorch Trials. Each book takes the reader on one of the trails of Thomas and some of the other boys whom are immune to the Flare, a disease the keeps adapting and eventually makes them go insane. The people of Wicked repeatedly capture Thomas and his friends and are attempting to make a cure.
