Could have been a lot better if the whole narrative was told from the point of view of Martin. With a strong introduction and strong ending, the second act drags and filled with parts that I couldn’t even begin to think are necessary to this story.

Jaws is about a killer shark and a cheating wife.

This book I think just got me HOOKED on shark attack thriller books. One of the things I didn’t expect from this book was how many side plots it had but it didn’t take away from the quality of it at all. All of the characters were fun to read and the layers that were added because of the side plots made the book much better. The ending was exactly what it was supposed to be, thrilling, and I couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened to “the fish.” Fantastic book.
