Jaws
by Peter Benchley
read: 2014
I've read that Benchley had some regrets about the anti-shark hysteria that has sometimes followed Jaws (especially after the movie), but I found it pretty reasonable. Benchley clearly did a good amount of research, and even with the greater knowledge nowadays (Shark Week didn't even exist back then!) there isn't much that's blatantly incorrect. I wasn't impressed with the prose, however; it felt almost pulpy.
