It was a little surprising what kind of creature the "villian" was. It is similar to Jaws, but Benchley always has so many marine factoids in his stories, I don't care. Is that a bad thing? I guess it depends on how much you like him. ( )What can I say Benchley knows his sharks…see Jaws. Give it a WWII German experiment gone bad twist and you have a nice little read. I found myself rooting for the shark! I came across this after surprising myself by really enjoying Jaws. But this is just pulp horror for people who like the genre I suppose. 0.050 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312955731, Mass Market Paperback)At a small marine institute off the coast of Connecticut, only marine biologist Simon Chase realizes that a sixteen-foot pregnant Great White is feeding in the area. But even Simon doesn't know that a far deadlier creature is about to come out of the deep and threaten everything he cares for. A creature whose malevolence is unthinkable. Whose need to feed is insatiable. And whose relentless hunt for prey is unstoppable. Twenty years after his huge bestseller Jaws, the master of the deep has done it again, letting loose a chilling new predator that only he could create. Drawing on his singular knowledge of the sea, science, and history, Peter Benchley masterfully spins a suspense-filled novel that hits you on a primal level, makes your heart pound, and leaves your blood running cold. White Shark is Peter Benchley at his best. Read it at your own risk. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
