Jaws

cole_johnson_2480 shared a tip "This book I think just got me HOOKED on shark attack thriller books. One of the things I didn’t expect from this book was how many side plots it had but it didn’t take away from the quality of it at all. All of the characters were fun to read and the layers that were added because of the side plots made the book much better. The ending was exactly what it was supposed to be, thrilling, and I couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened to “the fish.” Fantastic book. 27/30"

emily_alwubayran shared a tip "A sharp, funny classic that will make you think twice about that summer swim on the shore. Laced with blunt humor and vivid descriptions of the Shark’s terrifying power, Jaws also offers surprising insight into political corruption, class struggles, and profit over safety. A compelling Beach Read (if you dare!)"

Jaws is the perfect beach-side read. This classic keeps you guessing what could be lurking under the white capped waves at Amity beach🦈"

john_wood_5070 shared a tip "Let’s start with the fact that the book is different from the book and both are great. I believe Benchley creates characters that drive the book and the shark is a character in itself."
