Jaws
by Peter Benchley
Jaws. I am sure we have all heard about this shark more times than we can remember. So I don't think any sort of a plot rehash is necessary.
What to say about this? I enjoyed the scenery details and the descriptions of some of the shark attacks, etc. There were some great scenes early on and I could really see myself getting scared of Jaws in such a different way while reading this. But that was Part 1 of the book (which is split into a total of three parts).
But as a friend said in a chat the other night, this book should have been called The Amity Affair. TOO much of this book is about an adulterous relationship. I read this book for SHARKS (although he is consistently referred to as "the fish" throughout most of the book). There was not nearly enough BITE in this book for me. Thank the water lords that we have the brilliant minds of Spielberg and Williams to bring this book to the big screen. The sights and music are two of the things that make Jaws JAWS. While I didn't expect that same feeling while reading this book, I did expect more shark and less extramarital affair discussion. Seriously... it's at least 1/3 of the book if not more. Anyway... 3 stars from me on this one!
