Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten

adventurous informative tense fast-paced

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.0

Moves at a rapid pace but still manages to be boring. The characters, including Jonas, are woefully uninteresting and Steve Alten’s clinical writing makes all the more action-packed sequences feel like lectures, as he spends more time describing the Meg’s anatomy than any of the action.

I can see, now, why they went the pulpy, B-movie route with the film, as it’s infinitely more entertaining.
