JAWS By Peter Benchley The end of summer has me feeling nostalgic, and what better book to indulge in that old-school summer feel than “Jaws?” It is a classic thriller about a great white shark terrorizing a small New England resort town. The book vastly differs from the movie - both are good, just different. The novel explores class differences between the elite monied summer residents and the blue-collar locals and the delicate balance of relationships.
