I picked up this book because since reading the first book "The Maze Runner" I've really like the plot in the book Where the main character faces many challenges.

I've finished this book because the events that are in this book were impressive and because the book had many of the types of genres that I like.

I recommend this to vaishni because I know she read the first book and liked it,like me reading the second book will be just as good s the first one.

Thomas faces many challenges just realizing the place they think is safe is actually not what they had expected.The glader's and him make some tough decisions.So, they pack up and start walking knowing it's not safe where they are.On the way they faced more obstacles causing them to seperated or lose some people.While on this journey they see many things that are unexpected.

Doomed 13505645
Pandora's an average teen, glued to her cell phone and laptop, until the day her long-lost father sends her a link to a mysterious site featuring photos of her as a child. Curious, Pandora enters the site, unwittingly unleashing a global computer virus that plunges the whole world into panic: suddenly, there's no Internet. No cell phones. No traffic lights, hospitals or law enforcement. Only Pandora's Box, a virtual-reality game created by Pandora's father, remains up and running. Together with her neighbors, gorgeous stepbrothers Eli and Theo, Pandora must follow the photographs from her childhood in an attempt to beat the game and track down her father—and rescue the world. Part The Matrix, part retelling of the Pandora myth, Doomed has something for gaming fans, dystopian fans, and romance fans alike.]]>

I picked out this book this book because of the title and the book cover on it. It was quite catchy.

I finished it because I wanted to find out if Pandora is really gong to save the world because one day she was a normal girl and the second she finds out that the world is going chaotic just cause some email she'd opened.

I recommend this to Amruta because I believed she read a book similar to this one I've read and there's a lot more suspense going on.]]>

Matt krinsky is a new student.When he transfers to a new school he notices the kids are walking really slow, way slower than him and they asked weird questions.I'm sure that Matt is going to find out why their behaving this way and maybe some of their school secrets on the way?This book has a bit of horror which i really don't mind, I guess that's what makes this book interesting to read.

<![CDATA[The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)]]> 2767052
Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . .

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.]]>

Insurgent (Divergent, #2) 11735983
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian DIVERGENT series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.]]>

Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences.

But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.]]>
