Title: One of the rare books that pales in comparison to the movie
Review: I gave the book 4 stars only because without it, there would never have been a "Jaws" movie, which is the greatest film of all time. The book is good enough, but there's just not enough shark. Plotlines meander between the mayor's financial crisis and Hooper's (a stud in the novel) dalliance with Brody's wife, which makes him completely unlikable. Once our heroes get on the boat, things pick up and that's the best part of it. I read this when I was a kid and then again last year. I was surprised at how average a read it was.But like I said... no book, no movie. So thank you Peter Benchley.
