So...last night I finished James Dashner's second novel in the Maze Runner series called "The Scorch Trials." I really enjoyed the book, but I was feeling extremely frustrated with how the book ended. Like other YA novels (i.e. Hunger Games), the second book ended without answering any of the old questions, but the entire novel is devoted to presenting new ones as well. I read about 50% of the book last night, so my frustration was pretty high by the end (especially knowing I will have to wait until October 2011 to read the last novel). After finishing I tweeted something to the extent that I kind of wanted to punch Dashner in the face and that I wish he had explained more in The Scorch Trials.
The next morning my brother Zane had tweeted me something in response to my rant-y tweet. I just wanted to share the twitter bomb he left me, because it makes me laugh every time I read it.

Zane...this is absolutely amazing and I hope others can appreciate this amazing humor. I'm sure many of us who read series can relate to this, which makes it more applicable and hysterical.
