Meg by Steve Alten
DID NOT FINISH: 10%

 DNF June 2023 10%
Thought the movie was fun when I watched that a few years ago, so when I found a used copy of the book I was excited to read it. Unfortunately it didn’t turn out well..

My copy comes with the origin short story included at the beginning. I read about 25 pages of that and really didn’t like it, then skipped to the actual Meg book hoping I would enjoy that more, but after about 15 pages of that I’m calling it quits.

Maybe there’s a fun story somewhere in this book, but I just can’t get passed the terrible writing and the sexism. To the little free library it goes, hopefully the next person will have more luck with it.
