![]() ![]() Part of this, I suppose, is a product of it being a book from 1975 there is a playful tongue-in-cheek vibe about it, reminiscent of “simpler” times. The whole book has a somewhat cutesy, lighthearted quality, full of all the fish, bite, and water puns one might expect. Granted, he wasn't shooting for some grand literary feat with this small volume, and basically the book consists of nothing more than collected stories and interviews from before, during, and after production. Gottlieb is an okay writer, but he tends to go off on small tangents throughout the book that are not directly relevant to the making of Jaws. However, after finishing this I watched the two hour documentary featured on the Jaws BluRay and essentially most of the same stories surrounding the production are told there as well, and more colorfully. This post includes affiliate links that support independent bookstores (instead of Amazon!), from which I make a small commission.įor the hardcore Jaws fan, this is fun and certainly worth a read. ![]()
