MEG (includes MEG: Origins)
MEG (includes MEG: Origins) | Steve Alten
111 posts | 94 read | 4 reading | 67 to read
On a top-secret dive into the Pacific Ocean's deepest canyon, Jonas Taylor found himself face-to-face with the largest and most ferocious predator in the history of the animal kingdom. The sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by what he's sure he saw but still can't prove exists - Carcharodon megalodon, the massive mother of the great white shark. The average prehistoric Meg weighs in at twenty tons and could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus rex in seconds. Taylor spends years theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg still feeds at the deepest levels of the sea. But it takes an old friend in need to get him to return to the water, and a hotshot female submarine pilot to dare him back into a high-tech miniature sub. Diving deeper than he ever has before, Taylor will face terror like he's never imagined. Meg is about to surface. When she does, nothing and no one is going to be safe.

🙄🙄🙄only 3 because listening was entertaining as far as a story with cartoon people and over the top silliness lol! Perfect for summer walks in the park. For eye rolling and laugh out loud nonsense I give this 3. If I‘d read it, it would definitely be one 🌟

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delightfully corny because it‘s so serious, y‘all. Alten will make you question a Meg‘s existence legitimately, but the story gets a bit batshit. All the while, it stays very serious which really cracked me up! Passing this to my husband, then we‘re watching the first movie. Meanwhile, I‘m starting book two. Why not?! Entertaining as hell.

CoverToCoverGirl I enjoyed this one too! 8mo

I really liked this fast paced thrill ride. It‘s like Jurassic Park meets Jaws. The cast of characters was great, believably flawed and (mostly) likable. Alten‘s humor and way of writing dialogue are absolute gems. Looking forward to the rest of the series. I didn‘t know about the movie til I was reading this, and it has Jason Statham in it, so I HAVE to watch that now! 😅

TEArificbooks Love this book series and the movie. I really want there to be a sequel movie. 2y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @mdm139 Glad to hear the movie‘s good too. I know sometimes stories don‘t transfer well to the silver screen, but this one feels like it‘d be a perfect one to adapt. 2y
paulfrankspencer Second time I've heard that movie referenced today. Very odd. Never heard of it before. 2y

This novella in the #MegSeries takes place immediately after the first book & is currently available on #KindleUnlimited! It‘s not great - seriously there are a lot of editing and continuity issues (the first book came out in 1997- but here there‘s social media & smartphones all prior to their existence!) and the sharks are bloodthirsty & unrealistic- but, all that aside, it is still fun to read about their bitey ways! Looking forward to more!

Are you ready for this book friends... I liked the movie more than the book.

I liked the book and I think the way the Meg gets out was better but overall, give me Jason Statham any day. I much preferred the characters in the movie (not all) and I am so grateful that they changed things up.

I surrender my book lover credentials and I am sorry 😥😰

Okay, for real, after I finish The Meg, I‘m not going to get any more library books (except for the ones on hold) because I have to read the books I keep buying. And I mean it this time. I‘m serious. Dieter (above) is very serious. We mean business. We‘re going to read the books in the house until we don‘t have piles on the floor anymore. Seriously.

LauraJ I would not mess with Dieter. (edited) 4y

They didn't have MEG: Generations in the Litsy database. This has been such a fun series! This is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite of the MEG books. More giant sharks, way more other giant sea creatures, bad guys getting eaten, piracy, monster fights, awesome deep sea tech, and history's long awaited return of Titanoboa! An exciting read, right up to the cliffhanger ending. I need Steve Alten to finish the next book now! I need more giant sharks!😁

I finished my first audio book of the year. MEG was a fun book. I love a good shark story. The narrator was decent, the main character was mostly likeable, the author's megalodon could still be alive theory is almost believable, and the right people got eaten at the right times. Everything you need from a giant shark novel.
As an added bonus, I've discovered that I like audio cleaning. Much to @cobwebmoth 's delight. 😘

2. I want to read more from my TBR. I literally have stacks and stacks of books waiting to be read.
3. Best: I think that I grew closer to my family.
Worst: To many funerals.
4. Nope. No resolutions, only intentions.
5. I started listing to the audio book of Meg on Hoopla.

I liked the movie better! I love me some sharks, I love me some crazy, but while this had both it wasn't that well done. I do know the author has completely rewritten the book, which I bought before the book swap. I might skim through it at some point to see if the info dumping got better. But still, I laughed a lot. #HGPBC #horrorgoespostalbookclub #teamCthulhu @TheReadingMermaid @jillannjohn @InBooksILive @MaleficentBookDragon
