Title: Riveting!
Review: A rewrite of Jaws? An understatement. BEAST is a bold book with a beast of immense proportions. No dumb subplots to slow you down. Just a bigger, more facinating creature and more scenes of action and terror, and the victims die in pairs. Whip Darling is a more controlled and acessible character than Brody, and his story will suit you nicely. Benchley is at full pace for his classic cynicism and quick, tense moments between people. The humor in the dialogue also soars, and unfortunatly this is his last book that doesn't deliver a series of cheesy lines. All this human material hangs in perfect balance with the BEAST, as it stalks the Bermuda waters. The final sea quest is great and doesn't linger like the Jaws one did. In the end you get a book about a huge squid and The people it affects. It also doens't waste as much time with environmental junk like WHITE SHARK did. So grab the book and read it to the fullest because. . . "It's not everyday you get to sniff an randy squid"
