I have been reading The Scorch Trials by James Dashner and it is a very good book. Last journal I left off predicting of they would make it out of the building that they were stuck in and they eventually did get out, but not with some casualties.

If WICKED already has a cure for the disease called The Flare, why wouldn’t they give it everybody and not just Thomas’s group?
