Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916 by Michael Capuzzo
4.0
Each time I read a description of an impending shark attack, the music from Jaws played in my head. Get out of the water!!
But this is so much more than a shark tale. It is a slice of American history at a time when the U.S. was changing. There is lots of historical context to what is happening along the East coast (why so many people at the beach?).
I really liked the forward momentum of this one. It is a good summer read (as long as you stay out of the water).
