The last 72 hours of my life have been devoted to reading The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure. Actually, in my brain it is just one long book. I still need to read The Kill Order. But I had to share my thoughts on this. I will say my sister has been nagging me to read this series for over a year. I saw The Maze Runner last year for my birthday with my best friend. That was the universe's gift to me. The universe is so generous that I will be doing the same thing this year for my birthday too. I loved the movie. While I was curious to read the book I was in quite the reading slump (as you may already know if you follow this blog). Now that the time for The Scorch Trials is getting closer I just had to find out what happens. The rest is history. I don't really know how to describe how I feel right now. When I finished reading the Divergent series I felt livid, angry and was almost in a rage over the ending. Let me not jump ahead of myself here. Only one other series has gotten me to read the books after watching the movie. That would be The Hunger Games. Ya'll know how much I love that series. That being said, for this series (and Hunger Games too) I feel like the first book is a little hard to get into. I think this is because you already know (mostly) what is going to happen. But like I usually say, stick with it, it is well worth it. Book 2 & 3 just fly by! So suspenseful and keeps you on the edge of your seat. You don't know what to believe anymore. It is like inception! Let's talk about the ending. I won't give anything away. UGH! I just want more. I need more pages between the last two chapters and the
epilogue. I need more reconciliation with Thomas and Teresa. I need more after. Clearly I just need more. I would have resolved things a bit differently, but, hey, that's how I roll. I loved this series but now I just feel numb. I feel like Thomas. Like I have just been mindf&*^ed and didn't even realize it is over. Maybe after the movies come out I will elaborate in more detail what I want more about. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who may be wanting to read it. I will say I love and agree with the casting. Except for one person. I would have made this guy Ratman, or Janson instead.
5 stars! #DashnerArmy
I'm going to be so sad when I'm caught up on this show! I just cant get enough of it. It is so good! The good thing about not watching things right away is that you can binge watch all the episodes. I've been having an American Horror Story marathon. Tomorrow I'll start season 3, Coven. I'm loving how some of the actors from the first season are playing different characters in the second season. Pretty cool! But for now, let's chat about Asylum, shall we?
HOLY HELL. It started off great. First episode opens with Adam Levine. Got my attention-check. Too many times I found myself thinking, "What a sick biach" or "What a sick ba$tard!" Talk about old school catholic punishment, use of the word flogging (or flocking as I like to call it) electro shock therapy, alien abduction, possession, (the list can go on and on)- this season was just crazy. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse something even worse would happen! Just when I thought something good was going to happen BOOM right back to an even bigger shitshow. Oh but that ending! I did not see that coming! Oh, not to mention my new love for Dylan McDermott. He is in his 50's!!!!! Not too shabby!
