The Death Trials - James Dashner

There was to much in this book. It was over the top with action and death and didn't have any of the originality that the first book had. I compare this book to a Michael Bay movie, where you just want to turn the noise level down to protect your sanity and not try to focus on the screen as everything moves too fat to be seen. 

The ending was predictable and not fulfilling at all. Although I could see that the story was going in that direction from the start of book two. There was so much potential for what could of become if this story, that it was sad to see it wasted in the way that it was. 

The most annoying thing to be throughout the whole trilogy was that Thomas was getting flash backs and learning things but never seemed to piece things together on this own. Most people were always one step ahead of him, even those without any memories of what was going on. Why show the reader pieces of a past that you are never going to explain or use in the story, it just frustrated the hell out if me.
Not all that happy I continued to read this series and it had just put a dampener on the greatness that was the first book.
