Author 10 books followers. I have loved the Meg series of novels since the year the first one debuted in So it truly hurts me to write this, but I didn't love Meg: Generations. My main gripe about this book was simply that there was just too much going on. Beyond the creatures, there was an astronomical number of groups, all with different motives--some from Dubai, from the California government, and from China.
In addition, there were the hired hands of a family who was taking personal revenge on the Meg pups, and finally, the Taylor family, who is more focused on Terri's cancer and Parkinson's disease than any creatures in the water. It was honestly difficult to keep everyone straight and, because there were so many individual story lines, I didn't feel as though any of them were fleshed out or given the attention they deserve.
There were also really weird, lengthy gaps in the timeline when the reader was virtually left in the dark regarding the happenings in that interim. I miss the days when Alten wrote from the perspective of the sea creatures And don't get me wrong I still think this book is worth reading, along with the entire MEG series.
I just don't personally think it's one of the better books. Many thanks to the publisher for my review copy. Paul E. I'm not sure what happened with this book. It was going along fine, with all the great creature-feature, b-movie goodness that I've come to know and love from this series when, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, there's a fifteen month time-jump, a miracle cure for Parkinson's Disease that comes out of nowhere, several new characters and an entirely new plot begins, with no resolution to the one that we'd been following up until that point.
It was somewhat maddening, to be honest. Like another Goodreads reviewer wrote, it's like Alten got bored with the book he was writing and decided to start a new book three quarters of the way through Very weird.
Having now read eight Alten books in a row, I think I'm going to leave it a while before I got back to him again Full throttle of a read! Scary goodness! There are several storylines in this novel, but they all work and come together in an amazing way.
The objectives are simple: 1 Capture a liopleurodon, 2 Capture a MEG, 3 Rescue a crew trapped at the bottom of the sea. But, there are monstrous and dangerous sea creatures out in the deep blue that threaten the lives of everyone involved. An excellent book. It would have been a five star read if it weren't for that dang cliffhanger at the end. My main gripe about this book is simply that there is just too much going on. Beyond the creatures, there is an astronomical number of groups, all with different motives--some from Dubai, from the California government, and from China.

I just don't personally think it's one of the better books in the series. Having said that, can I get a high five for the MEG movie that's hitting theaters next month? But the Meg series has come a long way, bagging movie rights along the way, and perhaps this too, has expanded into a franchise that has gotten too big for my liking.
This was barely readable, somehow and with the cliffhanger ending, I was just ready to throw it all in. Jim C. This is part of a running series but can be read as a stand alone as a reader can quickly pick up what is going on in this series. In this one, we visit the Taylor clan and their friends as they deal with Middle Eastern competition, people who blame them for deaths of beloved family members, and of course larger than life sea creatures that are causing mayhem out in the deep blue sea. I liken these books to the term "popcorn movie".
They are not meant to be serious or deliver a message. They are meant to be fun and deliver a thrilling action ride.
