Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten ★★★☆☆

Book: ★★★☆☆
Movie: ★★★★☆ 
This doesn’t mean I did not enjoy the book - I did! - it means I appreciated the changes made in the movie version.  There was no bitch ex-wife subplot, no treacherous millionaire besties, or unapologetically hateful ex-coworkers.  The book illustrated vicious, predatory, humans with equal fervor to the megalodon.  While I understood, it was more fun to watch the sharky mayhem!

I will be reading The Trench.

The movie was better:
Meg
Relic
Justified
The Virgin Suicides
The Hunt for the Red October

Tie:
Jaws
The Shining
