It is so fucking overused, not to mention quite irritating. I do not understand why people seem to always turn to this trope when they want to create some sort of familiar strife. The teenage daughter of the Taylor clan is stereotypically ditsy and immature, falls for the narcissistic surfer-type dude, and constantly gets into an argument with her dad about it. I suspect one of the reasons I could not get absorbed in the brutality of what was occurring was because I became fed up with waiting for it to arrive.Īnother thing I did not care for was the sort of family dysfunction that was created in an effort to add more tension to what is supposed to already be a pretty anxiety-ridden situation, with a gigantic, murderous shark or two roaming the grand ol’ seas and whatnot. There was no anticipation for what was to come no excitement. I would read about the Meg killing so and so, and creating havoc here and there, all the while stifling one yawn after another. After all of the pieces were placed, it still felt like nothing of real consequence was happening. I recognise that there is a level of foundation that must be laid for an action-adventure narrative, but it should not take up 300 pages of the 463-page total. I tried to like this book, I really did, however, between the excruciatingly slow build-up, stale shark attacks, and predictable plot, I found myself feeling impatient and utterly bored with reading it. However, there will be NO major spoilers for the book itself. ** Please note: There will be minor references to character interactions and interpersonal relationships that can be construed as minor spoilers, depending on the type of reader you are.

Yet, shortly after the crew kicks off their adventure, it becomes apparent that mysterious forces are at play with vengeance on the brain. Desperate for cash, a reluctant Jonas accepts the gig. He receives an opportunity to be a host on an adrenaline-junkie show called Daredevils as they get ready to shoot their second season in the oceans around the Mariana Trench.

We follow Jonas Taylor as he’s a middle-aged father of two children, married to Terry Tanaka, and struggling terribly to pay off the heavy debts that his family has fallen into. takes place eighteen years after the events of book two, The Trench. The book was a disappointment my first time reading through it, and I am sad to say, that it was painfully worse the second time around. After learning that the Meg film will be releasing in August, I decided to re-read so that I could continue with the series and satisfy my building excitement for the upcoming theatrical debut. Is the third instalment in the science-fiction, action-adventure series, Meg, written by Steve Alten.
