MEG – Worthy of Submerging Into A Novel of Deep Terror

MEG – Worthy of Submerging Into A Novel of Deep Terror

MEG is an amazingly horrific shark novel to read while you’re out there floating on your raft in the midst of the ocean, tied securely to the boat you rode out on, in the middle of summer with the sun beaming down on you.

Nothing to worry about at all with every page turned. With every line read. With every massive bite taken out of puny little humans from a massive megalodon.

Just you, the ocean, and a book to read.

MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror

Is MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror worthy of me?

  • A deep look into the fact/fictional world of the megalodon
  • First in a series!
  • Was made into a movie
  • There’s an old version and a newer revised version–chunks are taken out from the old (obviously)

I read this book long before The MEG movie came into existence, though it did mention it on the cover. But it had been such a long time, that I didn’t think there was ever going to be a movie in the first place, so I didn’t hold out on hope for such a thing–plus, after watching said movie, I know I can say the novel was just so much better with getting in-depth with the megalodon.

I think what makes MEG so terrifying is the fact that it weaves fact and fiction.

We know something of the megalodon, but we also know very little about them, and within the book, the characters talk about the megalodon itself, wondering the what’s, why’s and how’s, and it makes us as readers think a bit more about them.

As if they’re real. As if they might actually be out there now.

Even though let’s hope they aren’t.

There’s actually a revised and expanded edition that takes out the very beginning section of the book I have, the chapter being called MEGALODON, and it just sets up things from the past.

It doesn’t serve the present section of the book, so I suppose that’s why he cut it out? But I really enjoyed reading that section just because it took me back to the Jurassic time period when these sharks roamed the water, and you just get a better look at the massive power of them back then in their element with how he writes it.

It’s not exactly a prologue, because there already is a prologue, but it set the novel up nicely that had me wanting to read more.

I bought it way back when as a paperback, before the edited and revised version came out.
