This was exactly as promised, a greatly written entertaining story that kept me interested throughout. It's easy to dismiss a book about a "monster shark" as ridiculous, but I found it to be as good as Jaws (where I'm in a minority that prefers the book over the movie). Of course, there are some less than believable scenes in this book, but that's to be expected. The audiobook is ~8.5 hours, pleasantly narrated by the author.

It’s Shark Week and I just had to read this book. I knew it wasn’t going to be a 5 ⭐️ and I wasn’t disappointed. A fun guilty read for shark week!

I can’t possibly rate this book higher than 4 stars, but it was a lot of fun. I feel like if you read this, you know what you’re in for and you’re here for it. I got a kick out it!

If you liked Jurassic Park you'll probably enjoy this book. The movie does not do it justice.

It’s full of misogynistic remarks and the author’s self-insert fantasies. I only got as far as I did because my book club is reading it.
