The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner (Awesome)

Hey! I have another review for a pretty popular series, The Maze Runner Trilogy. This series consists of The Maze Runner, the Scorch Trials, and the Death Cure. The last one only came out this month.  These are the covers:




It's a really good series that gets better and better with each page.  The first book started out strong then teetered a little bit, getting close to being slow, but then as soon as I noticed that, it became really awesome and I couldn't put it down.  The next two books didn't have a single slow spot in them; they were great.  
 The story line of The Maze Runner (with no real spoilers, so don't worry) is that a boy named Thomas comes to in a metal lift with no memories other than his name and how the world works.  He arrives at the Glade, which is in the middle of a maze that changes every night.  The Gladers try to find a way out of this maze, but there's a catch.  There are these things called Grievers that travel the maze at night.  Nothing is as it seems.  
It has many twists and turns that keep you guessing and characters you really care about.
The second book, The Scorch Trials is even better.  *SPOILER ALERT (if you have not read the first Maze Runner book)*  After Thomas and the others have been rescued, things start getting strange as they cross the Crank filled Scorch in search for the safe haven promised to them.*SPOILER ALERT OFF*
The third book, I can't really do a description without ruining the story, so I'll just say that it was really good and consisted of, basically, people running around, making alliances, and then fighting each other.  That was an awful description, but everything builds on itself and I'm not going to be that one person who spoils the ending of the series for you.  So, go read this series because it's amazing, interesting, and let you understand what people are saying.  You'll be glad you read it.  Hope you liked my review!

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (Awesome)

This is my first review, so I'm making it about a very well known book, but since it is so well known, everything I say, you probably know, but hang in there.  Harry Potter is the series that made me start liking to read.  It is a wonderfully written story about a boy named Harry Potter who is in at least ten life threatening adventures over the series.  The characters are really well developed with both their good qualities and the bad ones.  It made them all very realistic.  That and the plot are probably what has made this book so massively popular.  The story in essence, is about a boy who is a wizard and ends up going to a school for witches/ wizards called Hogwarts.  He makes some good friends and plays a very different kind of sport.  Then things turn weird, and Harry has to save the day or else the world as we know it will end.  Over the rest of the series relationships come together and break and things turn sour multiple times.  This is a really good book, if you doubt me, ask anyone who has read it.  You will hear complete love for this book.  It is a must read that will surprise you with its twists and turns and you won't be able to put it down.  I know I couldn't.  This is one of those series that you can read six times and still love it.  (I know that from experience.)  If you haven't read it, go find it and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Welcome!!!

This is my first post, so yay!  Since this blog is new; I wanted to let you know some stuff, so here I go.  I'm planning on posting my description of the book, a book review, etc.  Just so you"re not confused, my scale will be bad, okay, good, and awesome.  (I will most likely put the rating in the title of the post, so you can look for it there.)  I think I'll start with popular series, move on to more obscure books, then write them as I'm reading them.  Feel free to comment!  I'm supper excited and hope you enjoy!
