Jaws (Jaws, #1)

Truly a contender for the worst book i’ve read this year.
Incredibly racist and so much talk about rape. I had to skim through an entire conversation of a woman having an affair and talking about her rape fantasy over dinner.
This book was boring and hardly about the shark, you guys.
Spielberg really did a service to this absolute buffoon of an author and thankfully, when he was done with it, the film was nearly unrecognizable from it’s origins.
Who fucking orders egg salad and a glass of milk at a diner🤢

not it hardly being about the shark smh this sounds awful tho truly
@Margaret yes you were absolutely right!! 💕
@lulu it was disgusting ugh the worst 😵💫
This was one case where I liked the movie more.
@Courtney absolutely !!
Omg I had no idea it was like this!!!!
It’s just now dawning on me how little I know about Jaws
@Brandon i was truly shocked. needs way more shark.
@Jiggin i always thought i knew something since i loved the movies but hoo boy was i wrong 😑
Rare film was better than book situation. How on earth the author thought rape and sharks go well??
@Reader my thoughts exactly 😭
I just got to the Rape Fantasy and it's a hard stop for me. It totally threw me, I came for Shark Drama and have gotten little to no Shark Drama.
@Kelly right?! ew in so sorry. disgusting 🤢
YEA! I started this once and went oh no oh no.
@S did you dnf? you’re a genius
its crazy how much worse this is than the film adaptation. ive literally ONLY heard awful things about this. will stay FAR away from it for my own sanity!
@Jade it blew my freaking mind. the book is almost unrecognizable from the movie. thank the shark gods!!
I would eat that, but I wouldn't order it at a diner lol
@Hannah same hahaaa
THIS!!! I was so excited to read about gore and a shark massacring (don’t judge me) and what I got was a weird author who wrote some of the worst characters I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading😭
@Kelsey i would never judge you because SAME!! what even was this 😭
Oh wow. I've always thought I should read this since I love the movie but now, not so much. Thanks for doing the hard work for the rest of us but also sorry it's so bad!
@Kim hehe no worries at all! if you do read it, would love to hear your thoughts!
This is so true! The conversation with Hooper and Brody's wife about sexual fantasies lasts like 50 pages!
@Edward LITERALLY!! it was such a trip - and not the good kind 😭
