Book Review: Meg: Primal Waters by Steve Alten





This is a review of the Kindle version.

This installment in the Meg series deals with Jonas and his daughter Danielle participating in a top-rated reality TV show “Daredevils”. In a separate plot thread, Terry Taylor investigates whale beachings off Vancouver Island.

Michael Maren has masterminded his latest scheme using the titular Meg “Angel” to off the Taylors. Does he succeed?



Steve Alten, the author

This books entertains. No doubt.


Having said that, it takes liberties with science. All fishes/monsters in this book are super-sized. There are lot of descriptions of “747 sized fins”, “cave sized mouth”, “truck sized head” and so on. I guess the author knows how to sell his wares!

I like sharks and did enjoy this book.
