Rating: Summary: MEG and the Trench Review: I think both books would make a very good movie. I can't wait to see it so please hurry. I love both books.
Rating: Summary: Horrific Meg Review: Being The Trench was the sequel to Meg, I just had to get my hands on this book. And I was right on how great this book was going to be. Jonas Taylor, the lead character, is a person that you can relate to in many ways because of his every-man personality. You would probably do the same things that he does except for a few bizarre things but still, he is very likeable. Also, Terry his wife is a person that you feel great sympathy for also. That is what Steve Alten is best at; character development. You can feel deep sorrow for a person that you were just introduced to when they are attacked. That is the makings of a great writer. Now the shark. To be as big as the characters describe it is incomprehensible. Just thinking how big it is terrifies you. The attack scenes are very believable and horrifying. There are some things that will make you cringe but overall it's not that gory. The Trench is a great read that is action packed and makes you never want to set it down; and enter the water. 5 Stars
Rating: Summary: Couldn't put it down! Review: After reading MEG, I thought Alten wouldn't be able to do any better. I was wrong. The Trench, picking up 7 years later, was even better than MEG. I simply couldn't put the book down until I was finished. My only question is, when does the movie come out?
Rating: Summary: wow the trench is a great book Review: wow i got this book only a few days ago and i haven't been able to put it back down, i have noticed one problen it is that the the writer (steve alten) uses words over and over again, but that is ok because it is still a cool book. I read meg when i was in 5th grade ond that was too good i was not able to put that down either, i finished it in less then 2 days. I hope mr. alten writes more books just as good or better then trench and meg, i think that is pretty hard to do but...... you never know.
Rating: Summary: The Trench Review: This book is a must read, terrorfing book that will keep you on your seat until the final page.
Rating: Summary: amazed Review: The book kept me on edge from page 1 right to the end. To think that there could actually be a creature like that in our waters today. It felt like I was right in the book.
Rating: Summary: Deep sea fishing Review: Don't go deep sea fishing on something smaller than an aircraft carrier ever again, that is a fact.
Rating: Summary: Makes JAWS look like a guppy.... Review: Steve Alten has once again brought us a tremendous thriller with The Trench, sequel to his hit book MEG. I was a big fan of the book MEG, it was a great story with characters you cared about (and some you didn't care if they became Meg bait) and a creature that was both beautiful and scary as hell. The Trench is a continuation of the storyline, one that gave me a further interest in both the Megaladon and the Marianas Trench. The book is a great mix of science fact with science supposition, weaved together so well as to be very plausible. Could Meg still be alive? I don't know but I do know if she is, I don't wanna be anywhere near the water!
Rating: Summary: The Trench Review: This book blew his original book "Meg" out of the water. If you're a true fan of underwater terror and suspense this book is for you.
Rating: Summary: The Trench is bone-grinding terror Review: The Trench was excellent follow-up to "Meg".Mr. Alten's profound knowledge of the Meg is astounding and builds fora great plot. If you are looking for an exciting and thrilling bookthat you will not want to put down, go to the depths in "TheTrench."...
