DESCRIPTION: "On an island in the Gulf of California, an intrepid young woman named Paloma carries a special legacy from her father—a deep understanding of the sea and a sixth sense about the need to protect it.Every day, Paloma paddles her tiny boat into the ocean and anchors over a seamount—a sub...
The shark was cool, but according to my husband all of the research it relied on was outdated: turns out sharks have a regular route around the sees, and regular appearances at specific locales (basically they show up after the baby seals do). But the characters, the Peyton Place drama of it all: ...
I listened to this one on audiobook via Overdrive, which I highly recommend. The narrator did awsome. He kind of sounded like Edward Norton, but that's not who it was. The book has a lot of differences between it and the movie, and honestly, I think this is one of the few times the movie is bette...
This book was a nightmare. An utter disaster. I went into it expecting it to be far better than the movies, because that is typically the case. It was not. At least the movie got it mostly right. It was about the shark and it's unexplainable appearance and extended stay in the waters of the s...
**There is one spoiler below regarding a character death. It is marked with a spoiler tag** There were a few things that I found highly unnecessary. I know this is written in a time period much different from today, but some of the outdated stuff in this did bother me a little bit. Also the thing ...
I guess there must be something wrong with the book when the reader is rooting for the shark instead of the characters. I have to admit I was secretly hoping that the shark would eat all of the characters at some point in the story, because the shark is awesome and the most intelligent being in the ...
I really had pretty high hopes or Jaws. I don’t know, how often I have seen the movie and although I love sharks (and I am actually trying to find a location for my next holiday where I can go shark diving to see those beauties at close quarters) I could watch it over and over again. So I couldn’t i...
I am terrified of sharks: and I don't know if the film "Jaws" was partly or solemnly responsible for that. Either way finishing this audio counts as a personal achievement. The visuals I had in mind every time the shark appeared gave me the chills. Plus each appearance was paired with the appropria...
First I want to thank Steven Spielberg for ruining the fun with swimming in lakes as a child. because of course there could be sharks in lakes...in Sweden. Second, I want to thank him for letting Ellen Brody be a background character in the movie so the movie wasn't ruined by that F*****g bitch. ...
A movie novelization is a book written based on the screenplay of a film. I have loved movie novelizations since I was in middle school. It's very different from reading a book that a movie is based on. Movie novelizations usually end up being pretty close to what you see on the screen though you wi...
