This months book is Jaws ... please do leave your thoughts and comments on the book here.

"The vintage thriller which inspired Stielberg’s blockbuster film. In a small Atlantic resort the mutilated body of a young woman, or what is left of it, washes up on a long, white beach. It is merely a harbinger of the horror that is about to unfold, as a sun-drenched holiday turns into a nightmare."

The National Book Club team, Nicky, Clare, Sarah look forward to seeing you on the 18th May from 1930-2100 to discuss at our Teams meeting.

    Firstly I'd like to say what a great choice this was.  It wasn't something I'd have chosen myself, having seen the film a number of times and thinking I knew the story.  I listened on Audible and the narration was excellent.   I loved  all the additional detail, back-stories and emotions that it carried and which I've never picked up on watching the film.  Maybe because they weren't included. I don't remember the chiefs wife having a fling with the oceanographer!  That was a new an unexpected twist which came across as completely out of character and made me feel dreadfully sorry for her husband.  All in all a surprising 8/10 Swim.
