The Meg by Steve Alten

4.0

---

I watched the movie and enjoyed it, even if it is pretty much another big shark action movie. Saying that, I was interested enough to try out this book, and I was surprised how good it was. The characters are still pretty generic and the fight scenes are expected, but I loved the science throughout the book. I'm currently taking a geology course in college, so Alten getting into ocean topography and plate tectonics among other more heavy science topics was really interesting. If you're not interested in those topics, you might find this book pretty boring, but I really enjoyed reading it.
