Alice’s Notes & Highlights

The Trench (Meg #2) by Steve Alten

2 notes & 7 highlights

Jonas felt his temper flaring.

This exact line is repeated twice within 2 or 3 pages. Also, it is telling, not showing, something Steve seems to like to do. It is fine here and there, but more showing would give the books more depth. (Hehe see what I did there?)

“Is that why you play the music so loud? A beat to drown out the thoughts, sound so high you cannot think, lyrics so close to home you don’t even blink.”
