Summary: MEG!!! I could'nt put it down!!
Review: I believe that this was a good book expecilly for a first time author. And to all you critics out there remember that this book is fiction NOT NON-FICTION you are supposed to use your imagination and not to find every mistake or anny falsehoods of the book. If you didnt like this book then you have no taste for science fictoin books. And you ad no purpose reading the book in the first place. Buut personally I thought that this book was a great suspense thriller but dont take my word for it.....READ THE BOOK YOURSEL

Summary: A serious suggestion to Disney & Doubleday
Review: Reading not only should give you fun but also should help improving your logic, common sense, and widening your knowledge. By reading scientific novels, it widens our vision for the future, and the fantansies would also make our imagination become more vivid. While the former also is a work of imagination, it won't give you an impression of absurdity, 'cause its premises would all be based upon somewhat logical and reasonable imagination. But not this book! If a 60-ton shark (called it a Meg simply not feasible) could push up the 3000 tons Kiku (chrysanthemum) in Monterey Bay; Jonas and DeMarco could crash the reinforced metal rails of the Kiku (a modern battleship made in USA), then Disney should only make this movie into a CARTOON! And the 2nd Edition of this book should be changed into a COMIC book! Then everything would be fine and more fun

Summary: The most absurd book in the 20th Century. Rating 1- !
Review: A 60-ton shark in flesh to crash, bite the hell of and sank a 3,000-ton nuclear submarine, but failed to crash and bite the hell of a 10'L x 12' dia. fiber glass tube? The submarine decommisioned over 15 years could be called for duty without at least half-to-one-year complete inspection and maintenace, could be put to the sea merely by a naval base commander, and the temporarily assembled crew did not need to be retrained for at least 3-6 months prior to carrying out a shark-seek-&-destroy mission? A Japanese whaler which should be as modern & as big as an ocean liner, equipped with on-board factory to process the whales's meat, bones, and the fat, in this book ridiculously became a sampan with wooden deck and wooden mast? Is this writer nuts enough while creating a rigid and stupid Jonas out of MOBY DICK's hero, and at same time, confused himself to make a modern Japanese whaler revived from the whaler in Moby Dick? So many inexplanatory ridiculous and totally without common sense details put this book

Rating:
Summary: Fun-reading fiction, do not take it serious!
Review: This is a work of fiction. This is NOT a research paper. Everyone in our house has read this book and enjoyed it. Who cares if some of the names and facts are incorrect, it was fun, light reading. I've read many books that were 100 times worse

Summary: Recommended summer reading!
Review: I enjoyed this book very much, however, I would not recommend reading it at the beach as I did! A great read, couldn't wait to turn each page, the suspense mounting with each turn. It did seem a bit fantastical that Jonas could be swallowed whole inside his submersible, cut out her heart and survive, but hey, it's called FICTION! I highly recommend the book and look forward to the sequel, Just Imagine the MOVIE!!!! Cindy Smith [e-mail]

Summary: Fun deep-sea adventure.
Review: This was a good summer novel. It was quick, easy reading for pure enjoyment. A good blend of adventure, sci-fi, and what-if. The "Lost World" was a drag compared to Meg. After reading the novel, I plan to stay on dry land for awhile; I'll especially avoid surfing or deep-sea fishing. It's a real "Sharker"

Rating:
Summary: Even the Japanese name was not correct!!!!!
Review: Dr. Simidu? What kind of Japanese name is this? In Japanese, there is only "Sh" instead of "Si" and "Do" for "Du". We should treat every book like a product that could be returned if it got too many defects. And this 'MEG' is just like one of the Black & Decker lousy products, once you turned it on, it suddenly burned out! There were so many defects on every page, I just could not totally melt into the story(if there is any). A published book is just like a consumer product, I should have the right to return it for a refund

Summary: Author says he spend time researching!?!?! HA
Review: I have read many books about sharks, whales, the ocean, etc. so this one was intriguing. Starts great, you can just see it happening, this monster in the ocean. Not too much later, when the shark escapes the deep by following the warm blood up, come on, give me a break. I kept reading, hoping I wasn't wasting my time. I live in a town next to Monterey Bay so I know the geography. When it came to the finale, sadly, I paid attention to where the author said everyone was and where they were going. I don't think so!?!?!@ This author states that he did a lot of research but definitely not on locale. He also doesn't know squat about boats. He made a reference to them trying to save the people on the whale watching boat but that the bow was too high compared to the other boat. He said that the "draft" of the boat was something like 10 feet and too high to work. Well, the draft of the boat, any boat, is the depth of the boat or ship from the waterline down to the bottom of the keel, or the lowest part. I agree with previous reviews that none of the characters were too endearing. I kind of liked a few but nothing was done with them. The wife, the rich friend; possibly more interesting than our hero. I'm not sure that I would buy the next book by this author.
