Jaws by Peter Benchley

Jaws (Jaws, #1) (Bull's-eye)

by Peter Benchley

It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holiday makers. The first sign of trouble - a warning of what was to come - took the form of a young woman's body, or what was left of it, washed up on the long, white stretch of beach . . .

A summer of terror has begun.

`Pick up Jaws before midnight, read the first five pages, and I guarantee you'll be putting it down breathless and stunned, as dawn is breaking the next day' Daily Express

Peter Benchley's JAWS first appeared in 1974, creating a legend that refuses to die. For a new generation, the ultimate holiday nightmare is about to begin all over again . . .

Honestly, the movie is much better than the book. The book contains so much needless garbage! I wanted the suspense build-up and thrill, but I really didn’t see anything close to that until the very end of the book.
