JAWS

Book Review by: Louidger    

Original Author: PETER BENCHLEY
This abstract was translated from LES DENTS DE LA MER
How surprised at the origin of the french word REQUIN. It comes from the latin word REQUIEM
which means DEATH. In the ocean depths inhabited by strange creatures we know evil. They explore the oceans in the total silence. Among them, a big fish with lethal jaws. A woman swims at night, reckless of the danger, she sees nothing beneath the surface of the water, it rises suddenly depths to devour its prey. The shark returns to the attack, it devours a child. The investigation stalled. Couch Potato police. Other victims are on the menu Major squale. It is voracious. The sensational media wants news and live images of a shark. The people took it to anyone. It causes destiny, it will manifest itself. This is referred to in this novel. And at the end of the book is not the shark caught. It looks like the abuser unpunished. The man can conquer death. This diverges from the film versions, in what has become accustomed to seeing on the screen, the death of a shark. The reason why one should read the book because the tale in the book nest different from that in film. Men can conquer death. The plot of this novel is sustained from beginning to end, it is a model of its kind, a classic. Moby Dick is his not-so-distant ancestor. Note rapprochement, the relationship between literary Jaws and American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. Common two novels: the star is not the victim was the aggressor and it goes unpunished at the end. Peter Benchley ferre the reader from the first sentence. On Do not give the book before you read the last line. Survivor to its misfortune, a man returning to the beach to swim. Thus ends the story. Jaws were published in 1974 under the title original Jaws and earned the American author an international reputation. Peter Benchley died Feb. 11, 2006 at the age of 65. Louidger.
