Jaws 2 by Hank Searls

Rating: 4.0

I was surprised that I enjoyed Jaws 2 as well as the first one. Especially considering it wasn't even written by the same author. It was right along the same line as the original Jaws though with a huge shark, a pregnant one this time, terrorizing the population of Amity. I do admit that this novel does take quite a suspension of disbelief, having two man eating sharks attack the same shoreline in a matter of a couple of years. They say in this book itself how implausible it is that "the Terror" could happen again to this town. Ah well....it was very entertaining and enjoyable nonetheless. One thing that did irk me though was that Chief Brody somehow lost a kid between Jaws the original and Jaws 2. There were three children in the Brody family in Jaws and for some reason Hank Searls dropped one of the kids without mention in Jaws 2. As long as you aren't expecting too much, you might just be surprised at how fun Jaws 2 really is.
