Very different than the movie and I feel like one of the rare times where the movie was better than the book. That said I did like the book, it wasn't amazing but I still enjoyed my read of it. Don't go in expecting the shark to be as big of a part as it is in the movie. It's more of a background force of nature bringing to light the very human problems amity is facing.
