The Trench was just deadly dull to me, but that didn't stop me from reading the third book, Primal Waters, which I enjoyed a lot more, in spite of its breathless present tense narrative device. So, guilty pleasures indeed, and I will get around to Hell's Aquarium soon. I'm not proud. That said, I would be first in line if they really made a big budget MEG movie - an event that seems to get less and less likely all the time.
Oh, maybe I should put the revised book on my to-read list. I know Hell's Aquarium is going to be just as campy/bad as the rest but I want to see how it ends, or supposedly ends. And I'd be in line to see the big budget MEG movie too, in it's awful glory.
