Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Jaws exerts an extraordinary power over audiences. Apparently simplistic and manipulative, it is a film that has divided critics into two broad camps: those who dismiss it as infantile and sensational-and those who see the shark as freighted with complex political and psychosexual meaning.
