What's in the water? That's the question the characters in this
book wondered too. White Shark is a story about a monster in the water
that makes Jaws look like a goldfish!
The year is 1945. There was a German U-boat that was carrying a
few of these " White Sharks". The submarine began to take on water and
eventually sank. The sub sits on the bottom of the ocean still containing
these "White Sharks" in steel boxes and will sit there until someone or
something sets them loose. The year is now 1996. An oceanographer named
Simon Chase, is a shark and environment lover. One day him and his
partner, Tall Man, found a pregnant shark that was sick and they were
trying to help her. They heard something on the scanner and they had to
come back their small marine institute off the coast of Connecticut. They
marked their spot with a buoy and went about their way.
That same day two fisherman were fishing and found the buoy that
had the marine institute logo on it so they decided to take a dive. They
ended up diving right down to the steel boxes that contained the "White
Sharks". The men were curious and so they opened the box. Nothing
happened at first and then glowing eyes caught their attention. One guy
was killed. The other guy managed to get away and swim for about 200 yarRAB
and then he was down. The men's bodies washed up on shored weeks later.
That's when Chase and Tall Man knew there was something in the water and it
was up to them to figure out what it was. More strange things were
happening. The ocean life began to act strange and Chase couldn't figure
out what that had anything to do with the killings.
Tall Man was a rather large Indian man that had many reasons to be
fearless. The reason I'm drawing attention to this man is because he is
the hero. After all the hard work and long hours of trying to figure out
how to approach this large tiger like fish with silver metallic teeth, Tall
Man decided to take care of it himself. Tall Man approached the animal
with no fear. He stabbed the animal to death and he himself was very
injured and the monster's claws stabbed him a nuraber of times. The animal
eventually died and the others just disappeared. Tall Man was washed to
shore and found between two rocks and was unconscious. Tall Man made it
and the small island and the marine life went back to normal. But the
question is, were exactly did the others disappear to?
I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm into stuff that has to do
with oceans. Sharks happen to be my favorite animal so the title White
Shark really caught my attention. The book had a great plot and the
characters were very interesting. Tall Man was my favorite. He was a very
logical man with a very odd outlook on life. People found him very
intimidating but he was quite a teddy bear at heart. Chase was a very
smart man that worried a lot about his family life, and that was a good
quality in him.
The book itself kind of had a false title considering that the
creature wasn't even a shark at all. This thing was feeding off sharks.
It was not much different than Beast. Like Beast, it doesn't lead you into
the action right away and keeps you wondering what exactly the animal is.
The thing I really liked was that you could get almost a perfect image of
the story in your mind. You could picture who would play this character
and what the setting would be if they made a movie. The detail was
absolutely amazing that it made you feel sick to your stomach at times.
Peter Benchley is beginning to get more of an imagination than a story
about the world's largest man -eater that everyone already has an image of.
He's at least giving unbelievable details that are almost impossible to
imagine anything of the sort but that's the fun of reading a book.
There is a lot of inventive language and masterful storytelling.
Benchleys descriptions of marine life are very vivid and quite interesting.
Benchley probably would have had more fun being an oceanographer or marine
biologist.
The talk of a movie being made about this book isn't a bad idea.
It probably wouldn't be as big of a hit as Jaws, but it then again it might
be compared too much to Beast considering they have somewhat of the same
story plot just different creatures. I would definitely be interested in
seeing what kind of movie would come out of this book. Movies are never as
good as the books because they leave out all of the good stuff and your
image is always destroyed about the setting and the characters.
I would suggest this book only if you're interested in marine life,
and a slow pacing story. It was quite interesting and very imaginative.
It also gave a lot of details about oceanography and used very big
explanatory worRAB that made a lot of sense. If you liked the movie Jaws,
then you will definitely like this book that leaves you wondering the whole
time.
I really enjoyed reading this book and the best part was I started
reading it before this report was assigned so I was reading at my own will
and that made it more interesting. I would suggest this book if you're
willing to be on the edge of your seat and if you like long books. Well,
if you are still a little curious on more details about what is lurking in
the water, then go check out or buy Peter Benchley's White Shark!
