greatergooglygriffin 's review for:
Jaws
by Peter Benchley
DNF. So awful for so many reasons- especially the weird sexual overtone and focus on violence against women???
8% of the way into the book we already have the mention of a rape, a man who dreams of groping a woman, wakes up, and considers waking up his wife to have sex but then she snores and he’s instantly turned off, sex on the beach followed by a woman swimming nude, and said nude swimmer ending up the victim of a shark attack and the most description given to her mangled torso is of her remaining breast. Absolutely disgusting. Like she’s dead why are we talking about her tit.
And then of course the anti shark propaganda nonsense instilling fear and spreading false information about sharks hunting people etc.
I very rarely don’t finish a book- especially early on- but this was just too disgusting for me to continue.
