I just realized that this book is only 301 pages long, the remaining 80 pages being an excerpt of another book in the series. And I´m not even peeved about this, because this book is incredibly boring.
And the sexism might add a whole lot to my dislike of this book:
Maggie did not take this unexpected rejection as well.
Then there was Terry. As if one angry woman on-board wasn´t enough, Jonas had to deal with Masao´s daughter, who openly blamed him for having the audacity to suggest they capture the monster that had devoured her brother. Never mind the fact that it had actually been the male Megalodon which had killed D.J.; as Mac reminded Jonas, neither facts nor logic held any bearing on a woman, especially one in grief. For his part, Masao assured Jonas that Terry would eventually come around, but the anger in her eyes told him a different story.
Mac was quick to point out that angry women came in threes; the third being a sixty foot, seventy thousand pound female shark.
Well, f*** this book. And could someone please shove Mac (and for good measure Jonas and Masao as well) into the open mouth of the Meg. Thank you.
