The Meg by Steve Alten

3.0

---

Picked up this book because I am obsessed with the movie starring Jason Statham. The book feels more slow-paced, misogynistic, and repetitive than the movie but at the end of the day is still an easy, funny, thriller piece that you can probably finish in a day or two. I wasn’t wowed and probably wont pick up the next 5 installments of the series but its fascinating seeing where the book and the movie diverged.
