Description

Jaws is the classic, blockbuster thriller that inspired the three-time Academy Award-winning Steven Spielberg movie and made millions of beachgoers afraid to go into the water. Experience the thrill of helpless horror again—or for the first time! Jaws was #48 in the American Film Institute’s 100 Years…100 Movies, and the film earned the coveted #1 spot on the Bravo network’s 100 Scariest Movie Moments countdown. This timeless tale of man-eating terror that spawned a movie franchise, two video games, a Universal Studios theme park attraction, and two musicals is finally available on audio for the first time ever.

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
Author Peter Benchley's classic tale of a great white shark that terrorizes the small resort town of Amity Island is certainly one of the greatest horror novels--and movies--of all time. Any audio version of the novel certainly has large shoes to fill in terms of entertainment value for blood-thirsty listeners. Narrator Erik Steele delivers a solid performance that brings new layers to the familiar characters of Hooper and Brody. Steele's delivery has the characters speaking in a natural yet subtly terrified tone that seems to grant listeners access to the tale in a new way. Ultimately, the story is still as thrilling as, ever even without the John Williams score, and Erik Steele's performance heightens the tension, thereby increasing the payoff at the conclusion. L.B.
