Show Notes

If you're familiar with the movie, it means you probably know NOTHING about the book. JAWS by Peter Benchley is an absolute classic, a multi-million dollar earning blockbuster book turned movie that just about MADE Steven Spielberg. But what's up with the novel? Just some of your classic summertime, monster-movie beach read type stuff like mafia-led real estate fraud, class politics, and dead sheep.
