Now I have to say that I’ve been looking forward to seeing The Meg ever since I first saw the trailer a while back and at the time I had no idea that the movie was based on a series of books by Steve Alten, with this movie based on the first book, “MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror“, suffice to say I’ll be grabbing some of them to read very soon. Shark movies have become a little stale of the last few years and to be honest they have never thrilled me as much as Jaws, but The Meg certainly adds a whole new twist to the shark movie.

The book gets you wondering about what is beyond the world we live in. It's based on if you or more than one person can create a unity. The author does a pretty good job with the events in the book. While I was reading the book. I felt like it was with the main people that were in the book. It seems like a replica of our congress and president a bit.

I do enjoy the plot of this book. It gets you involved making you start wondering along. There are examples of the projects throughout the book. Will terror win out or will the world win out? You will really need to find out by reading this book.

The book also keeps you guessing what the question would be asked. Why was some of the groups able to produce a unity and some did not? Nathan seems to want to find Unity.

I won this book on First Reads. It took FOREVER to get it...over 2 months! Then I finally get it & start reading. That led to the 2nd disappointment, the book itself.
This is the first of the Sharon McCone series I've read. The characters (Sharon & Hy) are interesting, but the plot of the book itself left much to be desired. That was frustrating because Muller has a great voice in her writing, but it felt like not much happened. The "mystery" was fairly predictable. The only reason I was able to coax 3 stars out of it was due to the great writing style.
I don't know that I would seek out anymore of this author's books based on the mediocore plot alone.
