Title: Better than Meg, but.....
Product review: Maybe two and a half stars. This book was an improvement on "Meg." The writing style is a bit better, and the plot was more complex. However, "Meg" was so badly written that this isn't saying much.Now that he's figured out how to plot, maybe Alten should work on character development. Clearly, we were supposed to care deeply about what happens to Jonas and Terry. I didn't care one bit. And these are holdover characters from the first book! He did his best development with the bad guys. And we all know what happens to the bad guys in Alten's books.The bits about the sharks and other sea creatures were interesting, and will most likely induce me to read another installment. I have to admit, I'll be taking it out of the library. There's just not enough here to make me want to purchase even a paperback copy.
