The Game of Lives

The third book was better than the second in my opinion. Dashner still gives us tons of jargon and nonsense, but there is less of it and the flow is better, while the pacing is still fast. Somehow, he manages to wrap the story up neatly without making it too, too neat or leaving the reader desperate for a fourth book. That is a rare skill.

Again, the whole point of this series is in what you do not know when you start reading, so I can't say too much for fear of spoilers. Readers who enjoy science fiction, matrix-type ideas, or Dashner's other writing will enjoy this. I strongly caution against young children (under 12) reading this series for violence.
