Summary: a book revieiw of Meg by Richie Swedstedt
Review: The headline explains the whole book. A NOVEL OF DEEP TERROR, that's perfect! This book is one of the most fascinating, interesting, scary, and the list could just keep going on and on. This book is readable for most ages from about 11 years old and above. MEG is one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. MEG is about a crazy professor named Jonas Taylor who thought that in the Bottom of the ocean, there were gigantic sharks. When I say gigantic I mean gigantic, these sharks are 60 feet long and weigh up to 20 tons. If you can imagine a Great White Shark and then added about 40 feet, 15 tons, and rows upon rows of razor sharp teeth, then you would have MEG. Meg is Short for the prehistoric name, Megladon. Jonas used to do deep sea diving for the navy on research trips to the bottom of the deeps place in the ocean, the Marianna Trench, he retired after a fatal accident and went on to study prehistoric sharks. After to robot submarines went down the bottom and supposedly crashed, Jonas was asked to escort another man down to retrieve the robots. When they got down there, terror struck. A huge Megladon came from nowhere and hit the other young pilot. He went flying. While that Meg was attacking the young pilot Another Meg, about twice as big, came from nowhere and bite a chunk out of the other Meg. They both went skyrocketing for the surface. '
That was just the beginning of the book. So I think you can hypothesize about what happens in the rest of the book. As I said before, this was the best book I have e

Summary: One of my favorite books, ever - Amazing
Review: For me, Meg was a dream come true. I absolutely love the idea of prehistoric creatures and cryptozoological creatures inhabiting the earth, and Megalodon had been of interest to me before the books Meg or Extinct came out. When I found Meg in the bookstore I was so excited, and read it so fast that I had to read it again a little while later. For the others that say Megalodons can't exist, Steve Alten's idea of how a gigantic shark could have survived is quite intriguing, and plausible in my perspective (which is just a little bit more educated than the average one beacause I have researched this in-depth before). Also, Meg is much better than Extinct, because of the explanation that Alten gives and the one that Charles Wilson fails to, as to the existence of a Megalodon. Also, some of Extinct was hard to swallow, such as a shark of such enormous size at the end of the book, even though I would want it to be so, I doubt it. Meg follows Jonas Taylor, who formerly used to make dives into the Marinas Trench, the deepest point in the sea. On one dive he thought he saw a gigantic, white, shark's head coming at him, and he panicked and took the submersible to the surface too fast, giving everyone in it the Bends, killing all but him. He was discharged and became a sort of expert on sharks, researching his monster that he thought he saw, still trying to assert to all those around him that he really did see it. Then he's asked to go back down with a few friends of his, and when he gets down there he finds that his fears were not erroneously based: the Meg exists, and more than one. The female shark makes it to the surface, and all hell breaks loose. From this point on the book moves very quickly, from every heart-racing scene to heart-racing scene, from attack to attack. As many authorities get involved, the shark rampages through the ocean, while Jonas is following close on the shark's enormous tail. A delightful little thing that Alten included was the Navy bringing the Nautilus, the first nuclear-powerd sub, into the mix to try and kill the shark. There are some obvious protagonists in this story that the reader grows accustomed to, and antagonists that the reader loves to hate, such as Jonas's ex., and they make the plot even better. This is a must read, along with the sequel The Trench, and I can't wait for the upcoming third book in the trilogy: Primal Waters. The action is non-stop,and some of the scenes will get your heart racing. I hear that Steve Alten is trying to get this made into a movie, along with The Trench and Domain (his other book), and I for one can't wait because the movie woud be absolutely amazing. Anyone remotely interested in action books or liked Jaws even a little bit should read this book. You'll be surprised at how great it is, but I wasn't, Alten is my favorite author now!

Summary: The ultimate book for the ultimate killer
Review: I recommend this book to anyone who loves fast paced horror stories. Meg is an example such a novel about ferocious man-eating carnivores. You will not forget this book or the edge-of-your-seat suspense it will keep you in. The plot twist will take you for a wild thrill ride that keeps you guessing until the end. I like this book because it covers all aspects of the emotional spectrum well. Sometimes I would feel empathetic, sometimes I would be excited, and at other times the humor will be too great to continue reading. The author, Steve Alten, has a unique and versatile writing style. The dialogue is as realistic as everyday conversation even though his descriptions are vivid. The content in this book makes theorists like me go wild. The scenario of an extinct killer shark unleashed on the modern seas is more exiting than something like Jaws ever could be. The Carcharodon megaladon is a creature that actually lived, but a giant great white like in Jaws never lived. Besides, megaladons are twice as large too. Measuring in at 42,000 pounds and sixty feet long they are much more lethal and much more aggressive. I am a tough critic but I found it hard to put this down even after reading it for hours at a time. The viewpoint of the book allows the reader to put oneself inside the situation of chasing these monsters around the world. I could feel the tensions building in certain spots, like I was really there. I have no intention of being a marine-paleontologist but I thought I understood well what was going on. This book really sucks you in as you analyze the situation and think you understand what is going on. But as soon as you think you know what will happen next it will whip around right before you. If you like a book that keep you sucked in speculating right to the end read Meg for a journey you won't forget.

Summary: Fun-Read-From-Florida
Review: I greatly enjoyed reading this book. From the very start, Steve Alten puts you in the mood as to what to expect,i.e, "A small herbivore is being chased by the mighty T-Rex, allegedly the ultimate predator. The herbivore runs into the ocean water to escape a certain death. T-Rex enraged, follows aggressively. A large wave hit the shore. Suddenly, the large bloody carcass of T-Rex is thrown back unto the beach, cut in two halves like a mere twig! Move aside T-Rex...Megalodon, the Jurassic Shark truly rules as the "Ultimate Predator."

Review: What happens when man discovers a prehistoric Shark living in the deep ocean? Well, what else, we try to catch it and put it on display! But that cannot be an easy task can it? Of course not. That is what makes MEG such a fun read. There is a thrill a minute as this book unfolds and there are some great action sections that are described in great detail. All in all MEG delivered on all fronts, an exciting easy read that makes you want to keep going. I will highly recommend this book!

Summary: Awesome!!!!
Review: This book is totally captivating! The first chapter, when Jonas gave the speech was hard to get through. But after that, I just couldn't put it down! I even took it with me on vacation. But I'm only twelve, and my mom kept telling me to go swim or something. But I absolutely could not put it down! The book is so realistic and descriptive, I almost couldn't sleep one night. but I would suggest this book to anyone who asked me!
