    About this audiobook

    There is something in the deep. Something large. Something hungry. Something prehistoric. And Team Grendel must find it, fight it, and kill it. Kinsey Thorne, the first female US Navy SEAL candidate has hit rock bottom. Having washed out of the Navy, she turned to every drink and drug she could get her hands on. Until her father and cousins, all ex-Navy SEALS themselves, offer her a way back into the life: as part of a private, elite combat Team being put together to find and hunt down an impossible monster in the Indian Ocean. Kinsey has a second chance, but can she live through it?

      Mega did not grab me. I can't put my finger on exactly why, as it had all the ingredients of a potentially eentertaining read. I'd probably give it 2.5 stars, but I may be a bit harsh in my assessment judging my comments below.

      Perhaps it was the rather poor execution of South African sayings and accents that left me feeling let down right from the start. Yes, I listened to the audiobook on Scribd, and while the narration was pretty good overall, the narrator was poor at producing South African accents and expressions. It sounded more Jamaican. Many sayings, such as "bra", for brother are inappropriately used. As a South African, I can confirm that we are are extremely diverse (for example, 11 official language in our country alone) and the author revealed a very narrow understanding and appreciation for our culture. That aside.

      The other irritating factor is the clichés used to the extreme in dialogues. This is especially true for the interaction between the Navy Seals. Me Tarzan, you Jane! You get the picture. This was my biggest gripe with the book.

      The storyline was also rather thin, and I had a feeling the author realised it hallway through. The initial story was then subsequently supplemented with additional information. However, it did not feel like a gradual reveal, but rather like a hastily stuck-on band-aid.

      In the end the book did not feel like the original Jaws movie. It felt more like Jaws 4. Throw in a few Navy Seals from a B-rated movie and you get the picture. Will I read Mega 2? No, I doubt it. It is not that Mega was that bad, but I fear it will only be more of the same. There are many other books beckoning my attention and I'll rather invest my time in those.

      Soo, this book/series is basically a complete rip-off of "Meg" by Steve Alten. It's sort of like walking into a grocery store expecting to buy Pepsi, but walking away with RC.

      Such an obnoxious disappointment that it renders me speechless.
      Where are the great authors in 2022?
      (Trick question, there are none)

      An entertaining mega shark book wrapped around a bunch of ex military misfits, fights said shark, and Somali pirates. The dialogue between most of the characters is macho cartoonish but the characters are likable. A fun quick beach read.
    • 4/5
      Let's be clear about this. This book is not just about the shark. Alten's books are about the shark and little else. Bible's book is about a lot more than that. In fact, I found all the other stuff in the book - the pirates, the Special Forces operators, the corporate intrigue, the characters - to be so much more important and interesting than the shark. The shark is in the book, and there is some sharky action, but this in no Alten clone. It's more than that. It's action and adventure and humor. It's Jake Bible kicking ass.
