Rating: Summary: The most Suspenseful and Exciting Book ever!! Review: Meg. I couldn't believe what an amazing book it was. It was so well written and suspenseful that it became my favorite book. I didn't know what to expect from the book but when I read the first line you couldn't separate the book and I.The book keeps you on the edge of you seat wanting more before the scene switches again. The author brings that story to life. It's almost watching a movie that has been already paid for but not edditted. My father recommendede this book to me and I didn't know if I wanted to read it but now that I have read it, I recommend it to anyone who is a movie buff or loves action in their books. It is just like Jurassic Park but only this time it's a shark that it the king of the seas. It is unbelievable to see how a man who is a failure make a come back to become a hero and still save the day. Every book should be as action packed as this one is. Truly Steven Alton is a master of suspense and although this is the first book that I've read of his, I believe it to be the best. I can't emphasize it enough for people to read this book, it is so entertaining and demanding for the attention of others to read this book.
Rating: Summary: What are you going to do??? Its his first book. Review: Well as for a quick read, it sure is. As for interesting, possibly. As for making any major influence on me, definitely not. But it was interesting and kept me reading just to see what happened. Alten seems to have taken a good first step on hopefully a promising career, but if not there have been more shameful "one hit wonders."
Rating: Summary: Alten's Meg should have thought twice about surfacing Review: Meg by Steve Alten is not very good. I give the author credit for his accurate information about the Carcharodon Megalodon and other undersea interests, but the problem comes from the fact that the characters are not very entertaining. I didn't find too much difference between this book and Jaws by Peter Benchley. However, for a first novel, Alten makes a fine attempt.
Rating: Summary: Decent Airplane reading... Review: This is a quick-read.It's not quite the scientifically-sound "thinking man's story" that the reviews in the book would have you believe. Still, I thought it was entertaining and not quite as predictable as the other "Predator in Deep water" type books. Here's something you may find useful: I thought this one was less predictable and an overall stronger story than "Extinct" (which is the other Megalodon story).
Rating: Summary: Excellent summer read !!!!!!!!!! Review: THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT READ, AND I RECOMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER READING IT. NOT JUST A BIG FISH.
Rating: Summary: EXCELENT Review: EXCELENT EXCELENT EXCELENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: One best novels I ever read Review: It like Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park meets Peter Benchley's Jaws. VERY well writen, if this is a preview of what yet to come, i can't to read his next novel.
Rating: Summary: PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE IT IS FICTION Review: Come on PEOPLE it is a fiction book. Who cares if research is accurate or not. It is an imagination that makes a book good. There are some improvements that could be made, but you have to consider that he is a first time writer. I am appalled that people could bash a first time writer. I have considered writing a science fiction book about our solar system, but I certainly wouldn't give up for bad reviews, so if anyone wants to discuss further about this book or my ideas for a book PLEASE E-MAIL me. I would most interested.
Rating: Summary: This book was good for a first time writer.. Review: I tought the book was real good. There was alot of action to keep it interesting. I read alot of horror novels, but this book acually kept me more involved than most scary books. I guess the only complaint I would have would be that it could have been longer; what happens next? The other thing would be that the killing of the mother Meg. I think it could have been done different...maybe it could have been put in the Institute's tank, then it could have broken out only to be then killed later, possibly by its offspring. Overall I liked it and the end calls for another book about the offspring..
Rating: Summary: A good summer time read. Review: I thought MEG was a decent book. If you want to read something that is entertaining, and nothing more, than MEG is the book you want.
