I bought this book yesterday, and I could not put it down. he is an amazing writer. I like Steve Alten's works, but I especially LOVE the Meg series, it is great. I became hooked by Steve's work since 2000. I highly recommend his books to everyone. In fact, I tell everyone around me about him and his novels. I hope that someday(real soon)we can all see Meg come alive on the big screen!! I will pay to see that!!! This book was a great addition to his Meg series. Not only is he a great writer, but he cares and responds to his many fans, not too many authors do that anymore. I hope that this series(my favorite of all time)keeps getting added to, with new books!!! If anyone read Meg and The Trench, definately read this book!!! If you haven't then I suggest you all get out and read all three books, you will not be disappointed, I certainly wasn't!!
