Meg

Rating:
Summary: Its "Jaws" bro.
Review: The plot is simple and quite entertaining but lots of improvement needed on plausibility of someone getting in and out of a shark's stomach alive!

Rating:
Summary: Biggest rip-off ever published
Review: Fortunately, I didn't buy this book with my own cash, but somebody gave it to me as a gift. Still, even for a free book, I couldn't believe how bad it was. When the major character carves his way out of a Megalodan stomach using a shark tooth I exploded with laughter. Talk about stupid, talk about unbelievable! I notice there is no paperback version forthcoming so for anyone wanting to read "Meg", check your local dump, because I threw mine in the trash. There should be a consumer rating for this book, only children 5 years and younger.

Summary: Fine piece of writing
Review: It is a mixture of Jaws and The relic!

Summary: READ THIS NOVEL!!!!
Review: This the best premier novel I have ever read!! What the newspapers say is true!(for once!)

Rating:
Summary: A fantastical adventure
Review: I personally thought MEG was just a bit higher than a average read, but then i am slightly biased towards any thing involving sharks.The plot did not take long to develop and continued at a brisk pace,which helped keep me at the book for a while.I am not saying it's not flawed but for £3.99 i am not expecting a great work of literature.In saying that it was well worth the money i paid for in which i was suitably entertained for a couple of days

Summary: Doubleday got in my pocket
Review: Meg is a fine example of the publishing industry's trend towards apealing to the lowest common denominator. I don't know what scares me more, the fact that Doubleday reportedly paid 2.1 million dollars for this dog, or the number of people that rated this book over a 2 in Amazon's on line review. It will be some time before I consider buying anything published by Doubleday. Fool me once shame on you. ect.

Summary: A QUICK READ BUT NOT A CLASSIC !
Review: I found "MEG" to be exciting and entertaining. I was not expecting to read a book like "JAWS". I did not enjoy the contrived romance between Jonas and Terry. There was no need for the characters to become "involved" in a romantic relationship. Jonas inside MEG? -- TOO FAR FETCHED!! I gave it to my father, who from the beginning pointed out all the inconsistencies, but we both agreed that it was an interesting idea. It made me think about swimming in the ocean... I don't believe the author was trying to write the next "GREAT NOVEL" and his purpose seems to be to simply engross his reader with action and adventure. I must at least credit the author with capturing my attention and writing about an idea that's scary to think about.

Summary: So poor it's pathetic!
Review: I read it in French, as I am french. As a diver and underwater photographer, being mad about sharks for some 30 years (in the good sense : I mean I'm fascinated by them. In some manner, I love them), I was very excited when I discovered that book. And incredibly disappointed after reading it. For anybody who knows about sharks, and especially great whites (carcharocles - and not carcharodon - megalodon is supposed to be carcharodon carcharias' ancester, and the author obviously agrees), it's just awful, unbearable. From the mother shark who tries to kill her baby just when it goes out of its belly (no shark will ever do that!) to the hero who kills the beast from the inside of it (!), it's grotesque from the start to the beginning. And don't misunderstand me : I'm of those who believe that there are possibly carcharocles megalodons still alive, and I liked very much JAWS. But MEG was obviously written by somebody who does not know anything about his subject. The worst is probably that it will damage a little more again sharks' reputation. And they really don't deserve it!

Summary: Better than Jurrasic Park and Jaws but some flaws!
Review: This book was good I wouldn't have bought it if it was not for the fact the author is from my area.(so i was told)I don't usually read books like this but i was supprised at how well it was written. Even though there are flaws such as other reviewers ponted out (ex. Oxygen in stead of air in the tanks, and misspelling of names that don't exist in japanese) it was well reasearched and written. For those of you who say it should not have been published dont say that, lets see you do better.

Summary: Intelligent author finds he cannot write fiction
Review: Fortunately I got this book at a discount, but I wish I'd check it out of the library. I would then have gotten my money's worth. This thing is just silly. There is almost no character development, the girl falls in love with the hero on the basis of. . .? ? ?, and I was rooting for the shark rather early on. It's better than reading the phone book, but not by much.
