Title: Bad books do make great movies
Review: It's an old adage among screenwriters that good books often make bad movies, while bad ones often make great movies. And here's the proof. JAWS is a horrendous novel written in cheap and artificial prose, filled with boring stereotype characters, loaded with dopey descriptions of gore, and miserably structured. And just look what Spielberg did with it! Read the book only as a lesson about how to adapt bestsellers to the screen.
