What to read, who should read it and how to find it

Currently, there are 3 categories of books being written up within this blog. Books you can read to your grade school children (great stories that might be just a little over their independent reading level), books for your teenage children to read (or "Young Adult" - which you may find you'd like to read as well!), and books for you yourself to read. I post the write ups of these books as I read them, which is to say the categories of books in the main body of this blog are jumbled together. However, I have created labels so you can easily find and browse through whichever category most interests you. "Charlie" is for the grade schoolers, "Max" is for the tween/teens and "Mom" is for books you yourself might enjoy.

The Death Cure by James Dashner



Official Summary
Thomas knows that Wicked can't be trusted, but they say the time for lies is over, that they've collected all they can from the Trials and now must rely on the Gladers, with full memories restored, to help them with their ultimate mission. It's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test.
What Wicked doesn't know is that something's happened that no Trial or Variable could have foreseen. Thomas has remembered far more than they think. And he knows that he can't believe a word of what Wicked says.
The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than Thomas could ever imagine.
Will anyone survive the Death Cure?

My Two Cents
This is the conclusion to the Maze Runner trilogy (Maze Runner and Scorch Trials preceded it). And there is no way you could pick this up if you hadn't read the first two. The story is very involved, a little confusing and pretty far out there on the "wacky" scale but it sure was exciting! Yes, another Post Apocalyptic themed series within the Young Adult genre. And the first two books were very intriguing, brought a very different spin to the tried and true theme - but oh! the questions! Mainly, "What the f*%# is going on in this crazy world???" And I have to say - while I was tearing through this action-packed book, I don't really feel like I got all the answers I wish a concluding installment had. But, with that said...very cool, great characters, interesting story that sucks you right in. Worth checking out the whole series.
