sebassthefish 's review for:

Jaws by Peter Benchley

2.5

---

I came in expecting sharks, but all I got was this lousy story of people wanting a beach opened (even thought people got eviscerated) and smut about the sheriff's wife wanting to cheat. The story is similar to the movie, but I feel the movie does a better job at presenting a thrilling story that engrosses the viewer in wanting to know what’s going to happen. The sub plots are unnecessary and it just feels flat at points. Overall, it’s an interesting read seeing how it plays out, but doesn’t make you want to come back.
