(Steve Alten seems to agree - he rewrote the first book for subsequent publication. I haven't read this revised version yet.) 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.

I enjoyed Judah Friedlander's live-tweeting of Malibu Shark Attack.

That's a Not Afraid quality typo!

I'll never forget my first shart attack.

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.

If the Amazon reviews are any indication, Hell's Aquarium will not be the end.

Both movies have been on SciFi all weekend.

They are beyond terrible yet I couldn't turn either of them off.

If only I had known, it would have been a party.
