Title: Scary but weak
Product review: Peter Benchley has gone down a path that too many writers face. He has totally run out of ideas. This story does take place on the high seas, however Benchley gets away from the true terrors of the deep, which is his strong suit.The story revolves around a genetically made killer, that can live on land and sea. Benchley tries to bring together the cruelity of man and place it with the killer instinct of great white shark. The idea is there, but the book will keep you shaking your head, as of the whereabouts of what made Benchley famous. The characters were not well rounded and made the story very dull. There are some great moments of gore and terror, but they are to few and far between. If this is your first Benchley you might want to grab one of his older classics. This one missed the mark a long way!
