I could not help but compare my experience reading Jurassic Park while reading this book. Overall, I did enjoy Jaws. However, I feel like Jurassic Park had better scares and more horror. I could have done without the Hooper and Ellen affair…it wasn’t needed.
Jaws did have some successful thrills and scares, but the ending was a let down. I think the movie ending was better and more satisfying.
One thing I did like more than the movie rendition was the moral dilemma plaguing Brody and Vaughn. I feel like the movie skimmed past that and that was a very interesting part of the book.
Would recommend to read, but Michael Crichton did the creature story better (IMHO)
