Book Club Discussion for Jaws by Peter Benchley

LG13xx please could you email [email protected] so we can annotate your apologies on our nominal, as we don't know who you are, thank you kindly.

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.

Thank you for letting us know you can't make this evening Roisin.

Loved the book. Probably a 3 star rating for me. I havnt finished it yet as I was late to the party! But I’m almost finished. I was very sceptical about reading this book as I really don’t like the films. I was very pleasantly surprised of how much I enjoyed it! Even the first page was really good and pulls you in straight away to read more!!! Can’t wait to finish it and see what the next book is! Sorry I can’t make it tonight I was looking forward to seeing new people but I will 100% be on the next call! 

I've forgotten how to sign in for this evening - can someone point me in the right direction please? Can't find the email/link Thanks

Brilliant. Thanks 

Not going to be home in time to make tonight’s meeting 

I really couldn’t get into this book but i’m not sure why! I think i’ve just be too preoccupied to concentrate. 
I would recommend it because i did like the chapters that i have read. 
6/10 so far
