Book Review: Meg: Origins by Steve Alten



Meg: Origins by Steve Alten


This is a review of the Kindle version.

Hey, if Hollywood can do it, so can Steve Alten! 

So here is the “Origins” story for Jonas Taylor and Megs. Megheads, as Steve Alten likes to calls them, will devour this one. That's for granted. As for newcomers to the series, Alten would be hoping this book should make them a Meghead.

He even provides some content from the first book in the Meg series in the hope that readers would fall hook, line and sinker for his series. Will they? That remains the million-dollar question, as Steve continues his never-ending quest to get the Meg series made into a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie franchise.

Steve even mentions Summer 2013 as the probable release date for the Meg movie. Here's rooting for your Steve. Hope that Meg movie gets released soon. 


As for the book, we meet a younger Jonas Taylor as he prepares to go deep down in the Mariana Trench. Jonas meets a really big Shark that exceeds 60 ft in length and is about to swallow his submarine. And what happens next? You will have to read the book to find out. Just kidding! Jonas Taylor is the main protaganist in the Meg series and he does make it through.

Book Review: As the Twig is Bent: A Matt Davis Mystery by Joe Perrone Jr



As the Twig is Bent: A Matt Davis Mystery by Joe Perrone Jr


This is a review of the Kindle version.

The character of the main protagonist, Matt Davis is very well fleshed out. We get to know him really well. Joe Perrone Jr knocks this one out of the park.

The crime mystery itself is passable without any major twists and stands nowhere near the complex mysteries of Agatha Christie.

The book contains couple of instances of very explicit descriptions of adult content. Parents would be highly advised to peruse the book, before introducing the book to kids.

Still, a recommended reading for the way the character of Matt Davis has been developed.
