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.

A great book! I listened to it on audio and it kept me entertained all the way through. I loved the films when they first came out and I was very happy to be able to listen to it after all these years. It stirred emotion within me for the concern of the selfishness of some of the characters and putting so many people at risk and also a sadness for the sharks being portrayed this way, as now we know that this isn’t a true reflection on sharks, however, as it stands for the entertainment value, it’s a great story and I recommend the book.
