I have read the regular edition and want to do my review of it. However, if anybody has read the revised and expanded one. I would be very grateful for any details about this one. What are the main differences between the original and the revised ones? Is it better enough the revised and expanded? Thank you very much in advance.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize there were that many books. I read Meg, The Trench and Primal Waters. Loved them. I'm definitely going to check them out!
I have just Read "Meg" and "The Trench", and am starting "Meg: Primal Waters" and then "Hells Aquarium". I had no idea there was a revised addition I did not see it. When I finish the series I will look again. I am enjoying these books, and I thought "Jaws"was good. I think that there should be a few movies made. They would be even better than "Deep Blue Sea"
He addressed the changes in his monthly newsletter. I'm pretty sure it can be seen at SteveAlten.com I recall seeing the new "versions" are included in the same book that is limited edition.
According to Megalodonswag, this is what they had to say about the new edition:At nearly 600, pages this paperback combines a completely rewritten and expanded version of MEG with MEG: ORIGINS.
There is a movie coming out this year - next month, in fact. It looks good. I'm excited to see it.I have not heard of the revised and expanded edition either. Huh. I will have to look into it.
Currently, I have read "Meg", "The Trench", and "Primal Waters". I have only just started "Hell's Aquarium".
The revised and expanded Special Anniversary edition of Meg (copyright 2015) was sold in hardback on SteveAlten.com. You might be able to buy it on ebay for around $50. The paperback issue is out now with the movie poster cover. If you have read Meg then buy Meg: Origins (ebook only). That is the expanded part of Meg revised edition.After you finish reading Meg: Hells Aquaruim you need to read Vostok. It's the prequel to Meg:Nightstalkers (#5) and second book in The Loch series.
Meg: Generations (#6) hardback book is only being sold on SteveAlten.com. Ebook version is already out. He is also planning a couple more books in this series.
The movie tie-in edition (9781786695741) published by Head of Zeus contains both the revised edition, Meg: a Novel of Deep Terror, and Meg: Origins (which I suppose is the prequel).
I have seen there is a second movie in the works. CHOMP!
