Beschreibung

Revised and expanded edition, soon to be a major motion picture! On a top-secret dive into the Pacific Ocean's deepest canyon, Jonas Taylor found himself face-to-face with the largest and most ferocious predator in the history of the animal kingdom. The sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by what he's sure he saw but still can't prove exists - Carcharodon megalodon, the massive mother of the great white shark. The average prehistoric Meg weighs in at twenty tons and could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus rex in seconds.
Written off as a crackpot suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Taylor refuses to forget the depths that nearly cost him his life. With a Ph.D. in paleontology under his belt, Taylor spends years theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg still feeds at the deepest levels of the sea. But it takes an old friend in need to get him to return to the water, and a hotshot female submarine pilot to dare him back into a high-tech miniature sub.
Diving deeper than he ever has before, Taylor will face terror like he's never imagined, and what he finds could turn the tides bloody red until the end of time. MEG is about to surface. When she does, nothing and no one is going to be safe, and Jonas must face his greatest fear once again.

This book started really strong as an amazing book about a scary shark eating people. And that´s all I wanted from this book: action, gore and some sciency-stuff here and there. Even with these kinda low expectations I somehow got disappointed. The book only started to be bad at around the halfway point. Here are my reasons why I started disliking it: -instead of focusing on the shark stuff we got a unnecessary and clicheé romace plot (which was also disgusting, in my opinon). Clicheé why? Because the girl absolutely hated their love interest with every fibre of her being untiiil they´re suddenly mad in love. And other stuff like this: "[blank] had ended things with [girl], not because he didn´t care about her, but because he knew he was falling in love." -weird descriptions and charcters being a chlicheé. For the later there was a teenager introdued who´s whole character was being annoyed and playing on their phone. For descriptions we got "He stretched, then turned his gaze to the model gorgeous blonde strechted out in the beach chair next to him, her tan, oiled breasts two swollen grapefruits in the skimpy red bikini." ...I´m here for a prehistoric shark not extensive descriptions of every womans breast -and my bigest reason: For me personally the climax felt incredibly flat. So flat I didn´t even realise it was the climax until the next chapter was titled "Prologue" This was also the point were the plot got kinda ridiculous just so that the important charcters don´t die. In conclusion this book did a lot of stuff I peronally don´t enjoy in books but leaving all my points out it was an exicting and gruesome book about a megadolon eating a bunch of people.
