A review by puffball
Jaws by Peter Benchley

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi, so I’m fairly used to sexism of misogyny and can typically move past it. But this author has a police detective complaining about how small a dead woman’s breasts were. He finds a person who’s been maimed and killed by a shark, and his literal first thought is how small and flat her breasts are. Absolutely not. Immediate dnf. Oh, and the detective had been reading a book that had gratuitous mentions of rape for literally no reason.
