Critics Review
Pick up Jaws before midnight, read the first five pages, and I guarantee you’ll be putting it down breathless and stunned, as dawn is breaking the next day. * Daily Express *
A tightly written, tautly paced study of terror [that] makes us tingle. * The Washington Post *
Powerful … [Benchley’s] story grabs you at once. * The New York Times Book Review *
Relentless terror … You’d better steel yourself for this one. It isn’t a tale for the faint of heart. * The Philadelphia Inquirer *
Pure engrossment from the very opening … a fine story told with style, class, and a splendid feeling for suspense. * Chicago Sun-Times *
