Book Reviews of Meg: Hell's Aquarium: Hell's Aquarium
Book Review: "If Meg was a pimp, Jaws would be its bitch"!
Summary: 5 Stars
With the anticipation of a summer blockbuster movie starring Zoe Saldana in a bikini is how I was waiting for this book. After three incredible `Meg' books I put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me to hope that this book would be good. Stupid huh? Well stupid or no, I did. In the history of the world: very few movies, plays, playoff games, TV series finales, or books have ever stood up to the "this is going to be SO great" pressure from its throng of impatient fans.
This is one of the books that DID.
Reading about Jonas again was like... meeting up with your best friend from high school who you haven't talked to in twenty years. That friend has grown up and matured but still has that crazy streak that shows itself from time to time, just like Jonas! This man has enough harrowing adventures with Meg that you'd think he'd learn by now. Ummmm, no. In this book he adds to his "close encounters of the Meg-kind" by about, oh, two million! Reading this book, all I could do was shake my head at all of the impossible situations and encounters Jonas finds himself in with the Meg. His heart must be made of iron and his soul protected by the Virgin Mary.
The `Megs' are as vicious as ever and reading this story I got the feeling that they are kinda pissed off with being locked up from having the freedom to wreak havoc on the known world. They want out and they take their bloody, gruesome aggression out on anyone who dares venture into their watery hunting ground. As usual, Steve adds some pretty nerdy scientific stuff that just blows your mind. To find out about a prehistoric sea BENEATH our regular sea... no freaking way. However, the discovery of this sea also brings pain. Pain, horror, death, destruction, ruin, and revelation. The "revelation" part... well if you thought that `Meg' was the Queen B of the prehistoric ocean like I did... call me and I'll mail you use the same rag that I used to wipe the egg off my face!
The `Megs' are the most vicious predator in history and everyone wants to show them off. One of the players is a Dubai prince who will do pretty much ANYTHING to get the `Megs' and something else... the "something else" will make your brain jerk! I love Steve Alten because he can really tell a story and the twists he puts in this story will shake you worse than being in the jaws of Meg herself! The action continues right until the very end and then some. Yeah, I admit that I'm a "Meg-Head" and its books like this that fan that flame!
