Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch. The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken.
All bets are off.

I was so excited to get this book after reading the Maze Runner. However, this installment was harder to follow, and I just didn't care about any of the characters. That made me frustrated.
The plot certainly keeps moving, and I'd recommend it to anyone who read the first book. I'm going on to The Death Cure because I always have to know how it ends.
It's not often the 2nd one in a series is better than the first one. For me though, I enjoyed this one more than the original. That's not to say it was a great book, but I did enjoy where it took the story. After reading the first in the series, I wasn't sure I would read anymore of it. After re-watching the movie with some friends, I knew I had to see where the story went.
I actually liked this second book better than the Maze Runner. I'm hoping the big reveal that will end the series will be worth the reader's investment.
