Hell's Aquarium

Steve Alten

3.65 AVERAGE


This is the fourth book in the MEG series. It was a decent, but rather long read. It was filled with plenty of carnage and the Megs got to eat a lot of people. Also everything that can go wrong, does, as what is normal in Steve Alten's books. I have a feeling that this may have been the crossover book for Jonas Taylor's son, David, to be taking over the role as the hero of the next MEG book.

There’s no way I am not giving this book five stars. It has everything. Suspense. Adventure. Peril. Tragedy. Scenic locations. Gigantic creatures. Even a bit of romance (whatever, but it drives the story). Couldn’t put it down.
