Meg by Steve Alten
3.0

Junky fun, and I think this is exactly what I needed to get out of this "not reading books" rut. Perfect accompaniment for a busy workout. And I was surprised how different this is from the first film, although not completely blindsided by it. Here's hoping the 2nd film will tap into some more of this absolute lunacy. Solid audiobook narration as well.

This audio version appends a brief prequel "Meg: Origins" to the end of the main book. It's generally fun but it doesn't add anything essential to the proceedings. However, it does feature characters referencing a film - "The Perfect Storm" - that was released three years *after* the book to which it ostensibly serves as a prequel. I don't know why this annoys me so much, but it really does.
