I had never even heard of Meg until I took my kids to see my boyfriend Jeff’s new movie, Jurassic Park 47, and this popped up in the preview . . . .
Um, yes please.
I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. And not just a borrowed copy – I needed to own this and add it to the shark stack. Thanks to discoverbooks.com (no, I’m not affiliated, I’m just poor and this site enables me to add to my hoard on the cheap) I was able to obtain a copy just in time for Shark Week. I failed at posting a timely review because I’m now insane and post shitty book pics to Instagram (shameless plug for myself – get over it, I do what I do) and knew EXACTLY the right spot to take a photo worthy of this literary masterpiece. My schedule finally cleared up and I was able to make the trek over the weekend resulting in . . . .
#nailedit
But back to the book. The story here is about a dude who everyone thinks went cuckoo for cocoa puffs when he insisted the superbadawful that was responsible for a failed mission into the depths of the Pacific resulting in him being the only survivor was none other than Carcharodon megalodon. Fast-forward to the present and a new mission that will make everyone realize . . . .
They’re gonna need a bigger boat.
If you have ever thought to yourself: “Self, I sure wish Jaws and Sharknado would have a baby” then you need to look no further. Meg is sure to be a winner for you.

Happy Birthday! :)
Did you see the movie The Meg? (unrelated to the book I think)The first 30 minutes or so were super boring but then it turned out to be an amazing movie. A love child of Jaws and Sharknado as you said is a great description of it. I will have to check out this book.

I did not get a chance to see the movie (yet), but it is based on this book.

Hahahahahaha! I don't know why it's so much more satisfying when you get ragey than anyone else, but it sure is : )
LOVED this review!! I also love "bad" shark movies and The Meg is at the top of my list. Can't wait to get my hands on the book.
Thanks Lisa 😁 I have tons of bad movies (Ghost Shark anyone???) that never get deleted from the DVR in case I need a pick me up. Discoverbooks was less than $4 and free shipping for a used hardcover in great condition!
Your penultimate line is a real winner. And I absolutely wrote this just to be able to actually use the word penultimate!
Edited to add: Happy birthday!
