Summary: Makes "Jaws" look like a guppy!!
Review: Alten does an outstanding job on researching the Prehistoric shark known as Meg. This book was attached to me for two days and when I finished I read it again. Watch out for this book to become a blockbuster movie in the near future.

Summary: Entertaining book with an amazing climax
Review: Meg requires suspension of logic in more than one place however the book is certainly entertaining. A 60- Foot prehistoric shark on the loose? Think Sharkzilla!

Summary: It's not the worst book I've read..................
Review: MEG is a fast-paced entertaning book, and that's all that should be expected of it, if you're looking for great literature just keep on going, but if you want a little excitement and nothing too heavy, MEG isn't too bad.. although a little character development wouldn't have hurt.

Summary: Good premise: bad execution
Review: Megalodon is a great villian: huge, ferocious, and really existed. Unfortunately, Adler isn't the proper writer to make use of this opportunity. His premise of a warm layer at the bottom of the Marianas Trench was disproven by robot submersibles before the book was written. It's also impossible: there no hydrothermal vents at the bottom of this or any other abyssal trench. The shark doesn't act like a real shark: more like a homicidal human: and the humans act like macho idiots. This incredibly bad book is a wasted opportunity: its only saving grace is that Extinct, which uses the same plot, is arguably even worse.

Summary: MEG surprisingly sets itself apart from JAWS
Review: Meg is full of 2-D characters, but that doesn't matter because the action never stops. Alten goes to great lengths to make the book plausible, and it mostly works. The only thing hard to swallow was the ending. Some suggestions for the big screen. Keep the shark in the water!! The shark seems to rise many feet out of the water alot, but that won't work on screen. The ending will never fly on the big screen either.

Summary: Meg smells like a dead fish.
Review: I'm not sure what's scarier; me actually taking the time to finished reading this awful book or that an author can actually use the works "WHAAAP!" "BOOOOM!" and "WHAAACK!" in a book. Meg is one of the most primitive books I've read in years -- to compare it to Michael Crichton's books, as it does on the back page, is an insult to Crichton. This book reads like a screenplay, more dialogue exposition than action. Maybe the book wouldn't have been so bad if the dialogue was actually good -- but, the dialogue is laughably bad and overly dramatic. The author uses exclamation points instead of trying to build tension. This but stinks like a dead fish. Skip it. The author is lucky that amazon.com doesn't have a zero star rating.

Summary: Jaws/Jurassic Park/Godzilla/Hunt For Red October
Review: This has got to be one of the best books I've ever read. It combines the shark from Jaws, the science and action from Jurassic Park, the giant beast from Godzilla, and a little underwater hunting to make it a smash hit. But first, read these instructions: 1. This book is not for the kind of people who scoff at stunts when they go to the theaters and say stuff like: "That could not happen." 2. Don't question anything about the book, just accept it. 3. Be prepared for many deaths

Summary: Devours(sp) JAWS!
Review: I wish this came out before JAWS. Much better. Very descriptive; you feel as if you are about to meet your doom by this MEG. A real page-turner.

Summary: HATED FOR IT TO END.
Review: I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A VERY LONG TIME. I HATED FOR IT TO FINALLY END. THIS IS A BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO THOUGHT JAWS WAS AWESOME. I READ THE HARDBACK VERSION OF MEG FROM THE LIBRARY. NOW I BOUGHT THE PAPERBACK TO READ AGAIN. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE I TALK TO. THIS IS THE PERFECT BOOK TO TAKE ON SUMMER VACATION - ESPECIALLY ONE TO THE BEACH!

Summary: Jurassic Shark says the title...
Review: If you've ever been afraid of swimming, boating,or any water based activity, this book will relive those fears. Just think of Jaws and multiply by 3. Can't wait for Fathom.
