The Death Cure: A Book Blurb

 

THE DEATH CURE

The time for lies is over. 

by Fleur Reynolds

The Blurb 

It’s the end of the line. 

WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends—the Gladers. But it’s finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.

Will anyone survive? 

What WICKED doesn’t know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it’s enough to prove that he can’t believe a word of what they say.

The truth will be terrifying. 

Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He’ll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all.

The time for lies is over.

The First Line 

It was the smell that began to drive Thomas slightly mad.

Why I Decided to Take on the Read

So, The Scorch Trials kept me awake at night. I stopped sleeping on bus on the way to work because I have to read. I wanted to know what happened to Teresa and that she needed to act that way. I want to know how it would all end!!! Or continue.. Or whatever. I just want to know how this trilogy ends.

The Scorch Trials: A Book Blurb

 

THE SCORCH TRIALS

Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off. 

by James Dashner

The Blurb 

Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. 

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.

There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die. 

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.

Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off. 

There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.

 
The First Line 

She spoke to him before the world fell apart. 

Hey, are you still asleep? 

Why I Decided to Take on the Read

I was compelled to read The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure because I liked The Maze Runner when we watched it in the cinema. The story reminded me of The Hunger Games.

There were a lot of questions and a that urged me to go read the second book. I mean, Chuck died and the Gladers managed to get out of the Maze. To think that the world is already on the verge of its existence, I wondered how the Gladers will move on with their lives.

THE MAZE RUNNER

by James Dashner

The Blurb 

If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human. 

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

stale, dusty air.

Actually, I did not. I just watched the movie.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: A Book Blurb

MISS PEREGRINE'S
HOME FOR
PECULIAR CHILDREN

by Ransom Riggs

The Blurb 

A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of very curious photographs. It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. 

As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children who once lived here - one of whom was his own grandfather - were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for good reason.

And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive.


The First Line(s) 

I had just come to accept that my life would be ordinary when extraordinary things began to happen. The first of these came as a terrible shock and, like anything that changes you forever, split my life into halves: Before and After. Like many of the extraordinary things to come, it involved my grandfather, Abraham Portman.

Why I Decided to Take on the Read

The black-and-white cover of the book and the eeriness it brings allured me into reading the blurb at the back. (Again, my usual scrutinizing if a book is worth buying.) A couple of sentences from the blurb and leafing through the pages later, I already found myself smiling sheepishly over to the counter. I instantly loved it, although I have been a little bit scared of how my dreams might turn out when I already start to read the book. I heard those reading Stephen King always had nightmares. Okay, so what convinced me to buy the book is that: a.) It is odd. b.) It has vintage and creepy pictures in between the covers and c.) The blurb appealed to me. So lalalala, nightmares or no mightmares, I am buying this book.
