Review of "Jaws" by Peter Benchley

 


 A Five Star Read

"dun-dun, dun-dun" I was so excited to find a first edition of "Jaws" by Peter Benchley in a second-hand bookshop. It's spine is broken and the cover is creased so it has been a well-read book. The story itself is classically brilliant. I had never read the book before, and I was eager to dive into its pages to see how it compared to the iconic film. I was pleasantly surprised to discover some intriguing differences that added depth to the story. While the film will always hold a special place in my heart, this book, with its rich narrative and character development, has certainly carved out a cherished spot on my bookshelf. I can’t wait to revisit the thrilling world of the great white shark through Benchley’s words!

✵ It's Jaws, enough said.
