I actually quite enjoyed the book of the OG summer blockbuster. 

I really enjoyed the characterisation of Brody and the glimpse into the stress and pressure he is under as the seemingly only cool head in this scenario.

The gore was good and the parts of the novel as written from the sharks perspective were interesting. A fun and quick beach read that will definitely have you paying a little more attention to what’s in the water.
