Review: the beginning of it all...

What better way to whet our appetites for the fifth installment of the meg series than a prequel showing how it all started?  From the first encounter with the 'Jurassic Shark', to Jonas's departure from the navy to the introduction of the classic friendship between Jonas and Mac.This short story is a pretty fun and face paced read.  The only reason I didn't give it a five was the reiteration of facts about the Marianna Trench and certain Meg facts.  I understand why Alten did it.  This is both a treat for Meg veterans as well as an introduction to those who never picked up a Meg novel before, but it felt a little 'been there done that' to me being that I've read them all.  A minor quibble of course.All in all a fun and welcomed chapter to the great Meg series!
