Yay for the Megs. Boo for most of the people in this book. I was super annoyed with every single person in this massive book. But...damn if Jonas didn't have the baddest moment at the end. Like, total badass for a 65 year old. Ugh. It gives me mixed feelings.
The writing itself was shotty. Not terrible but just poor. The informative sections were so factual they felt out of place. He knows his science, no doubt. But it just takes you out of the moment when you're going along with the plot then you're being given an overview of an island chain and its history.
Anyway, I read this because it's a paperback and I take it to work with me. It's been really slow so I sit on my throne of milk crates and read when I have no prep work or orders. It makes time go by better. I can't decide if I want to move on the 4th book or just end this misery.
Nobody in this book seems to have their priorities straight. We are talking about huge killer sharks eating people. And Terry is busy getting way too chummy with a younger man, giving half ass excuses not to cheat on her husband. And her husband is being chased by a younger woman, giving speeches to the horny young lady about morals. All while his teenage daughter fucks a grown ass man on the same boat they're on. Like, c'mon, Jonas. Step one: beat her ungrateful, disrespectful ass. Step two: lock her up and call the police on the idiot she's having sex with. Step three: be a better father and husband. Holy fuck, this entire book is a cast of awful people.
