Summary: Once I started I couldn't put it down..........
Review: I bought the book this past summer while on vacation based on a friend saying it was great. I had started it that evening only putting it down to sleep, (with great wicked dreams), but by the next morning I had picked it up again and finished that next afternoon.. It was so visual ever word left a clear picture running through my head even today, a whole year later... I had hope it would have been made into a movie by now, but I guess I'm stuck with this years wimpy DEEP BLUE SEA instead.... Oh well maybe the producers who gave up the money for DEEP BLUE SEA will kick themselves for passing up a real shark movie named MEG..... Steve Alten is a strong writer that uses facts to bring his books to life instead of make believe 65/70 foot Great White Sharks of old or sluggishly computer generated 35 footers of this years new movie flop...... Brian Weaver (MEG/THE TRENCH fan for life)

Summary: This Book Was Awsome!!!!
Review: I could not even put this book down at all. I loved everything about MEG, Jaws is a guppy compared to meg. The only negative i have about this book is...It should have been 10 times as long! lol Great work Steve! As of now you are my favorite author.

Summary: High-energy fun
Review: Steve Alten's debut, "Meg," is high-energy fun, with some delightful cardboard characters and some genuinely terrifying shark attack scenes. Jonas Taylor (marine biology's answer to Indiana Jones) finds himself face-to-face with an unimaginable terror, the megaladon, a sixty foot version of the great white shark. "Meg" is certainly no "Jaws," and there's better writing in Charles Wilson's giant shark tale "Extinct," but for pure reading entertainment, check this one out, you probably won't be disappointed.

Summary: The Meg was an excellent book and couln't put it down.
Review: The Meg was an excellent book, really enjoyed reading the Meg. At first the book seemed to kind of be a little dull. But after reading through chapter one I found the book to be very exciting. At one point couldn't put the book down had to keep on reading. Really loved the suspense and the action, and of course enjoyed the way it felt like real world knowledge was included in the book. Some of the facts like a shark sinking instead of floating when dead. Had no idea that a shark would sink. Thought it would float to the top. Anyways the book was very interesting and reminded me of the writing style of another author. Am looking forward to reading more of this author's upcoming books. :0)

Summary: OF ALL SHARK BOOKS I'VE READ, THIS ONE BITES ALL
Review: I READ THIS BOOK IN A FEW DAYS, ONLY BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO PUT IT DOWN. IT KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT AND OUT OF WATER. I COULD NOT WAIT TO TURN ANOTHER PAGE AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO JONAS, TERRY,MASOA, EVERYBODY. IT REALLY WAS A GREAT BOOK. I'M LOOKING FOR ONE IN HARDBACK, I HAVE THE PAPERBACK. I WILL TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING ELSE TOO, THE TRENCH WAS AS GOOD AS MEG, AND FOR SOME REASON I THINK THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SPECIES OF DEEPWATER TERRORS TO WRITE ABOUT FOR MR.ALTEN. I JUST WANT TO SAY I ENJOYED BOTH BOOKS EQUALLY. AND IF MR.ALTEN HAS ANYMORE BOOKS OUT I WILL BE READING THEM AS WELL.

Summary: This book is an insult to any reader¿s intelligence!
Review: The book promised to be "a novel of deep terror"... Well, the plot itself comes from quite an imaginative person and, therefore, the events picture themselves in your mind with ease. Unfortunately, the terrible language spoils everything - dialogues are dull and simplicity of characters is truly unbelievable. It wouldn't be too much to say that this book is an insult to any reader's intelligence. I'm still puzzled about two things - 1) didn't Mr. Alten realise himself how bad his novel was and, therefore, have enough decency to shred or, at least, to re-make it (latter would be hard work...); 2) how did he find a publisher who accepted his work!?

Summary: An Entertaining page turner, but not as detailed as Chriton
Review: The author delivers a book that has great page turning appeal. I was engrossed, but some of the detail and characterization was weak. The part about all 8 helicopters crashing was a bit much. This is to be expected from a first time author. Still the book is worth reading

Summary: Can I give -5 stars? Please?
Review: I cannot possibly describe how bad this book is. It has gone beyond the realm of words..... sad. I pity those who pick this book as their first ever science fiction. Trees are wasted for the worst ever reason.
Rating:
Summary: Pure trash.
Review: I will keep it short and simple. This is the worst book I have ever read. Terrible dialogue, one dimensional characters, and the stupidest climax ever to grace paper. A waste of good trees.

Summary: Jonas as in Jonah?
Review: This was a fun romp through the Pacific. The characters were shallow, but the writing light and exciting. It certainly wasn't the depth, either in character development or "terror" as Benchley's *Jaws*, but for a mid-July read this was great. To the truly implausible, was Jonas supposed to stay inside the Meg for three days? Or did he circumvent his experince? The thought of a 6' man turning a 16-foot submersible AROUND while inside the stomach of a 60-foot shark...just how big is that stomach? Read the book, don't get too serious and then go swimming.
