Title: 4 1/2 stars??! You're all nuts
Product review: I couldn't even finish this poor sequel to "Meg".I got turned on to Steve Alten when I read the fantastic "Domain", and proceeded to read "Meg". Well, "Meg" was enjoyable (3 stars) yet extremely silly. I was able to swallow alot of nonsense due to the neat ideas and fast pace which Alten delivered during it's pages. THIS novel, however, is pointless.Sure, the pacing is quick but it costs the reader a coherent STORY. I felt like I was reading the screenplay for a bad direct-to-video movie. I can't begin to describe how weak the storytelling is here. I don't like to use the word "hack" when it comes to describing writers, but with this sorry novel Alten almost earns that crown. Honestly, if it hadn't been for his stellar performance on "Domain" I would never consider reading another Steve Alten novel.
