Product details
<blockquote>‘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.’<br/><ol><li><em>Daily Express</em></li></ol></blockquote> One of the greatest cult thrillers of all time, Jaws has sold in excess of 20 million copies worldwide. Seething with sexual tension, political corruption and macabre affairs, the novel is deeper and darker than Steven Spielberg's seminal 1975 film, while the magnificent shark scenes are some of the most terrifying prose sequences in modern fiction. If ever a novel was begging to be illustrated, this is it. Korean artist Hokyoung Kim brings her unique cinematic style to this spectacular edition, including a chilling binding portrait of the Great White Shark that terrorises the community of Amity. Although fear is at the heart of the novel, the fragility of marine life also courses through the narrative, and this theme is explored by Wendy Benchley in her newly commissioned introduction.

Adventure.Adventure is a great way to describe this book,and it will have you hooked from start to finish.The book itself is a hard cover edition with a slipcase.It’s easy to hold when reading,and has off white pages which is important to me when reading.The print,and paper quality is quite good in my opinion.it does contain illustrations which are very good. I also liked the motif of the cover of the book with a shark theme.

A gift for my husband with which I’m very disappointed. The quality of the book is fine. I think they could have done more with the cover. The illustrations are incredibly dreary and there are an insufficient number. They appear to be in the style of a 70s comic book, dull colours and amateur. Keeping it only because I told my children I would get it for them to give. This is such a dramatic story: surely a better attempt was possible after 50 years?
