athaliarahim 's review for:
Jaws
by Peter Benchley
A very easy, relentlessly gripping read. The movie captures the thrilling aspects of the book very well, but miss some of the deeper characterization that the book creates. I loved the wonderful tension between the winter folk and the summer folk. Benchley weaves colorful descriptions to bring the people and places, the thrill of the hunt, to life. While it's a shame that the book has bred a lot of misconceptions of Great White sharks, it also does well at capturing their power and majestic qualities as well.
