I read JAWS in high school as a freshman after being told about it. Checking out the book from the school library actually required a signed release note from a parent, no doubt due to the gore, sex and adult topic in the book.
Less than a year later I was blown away when they announced they were making a JAWS movie. Then I was a bit disappointed when they didn’t follow the book very well. For instance oceanographer Hooper died in the shark cage, but in the movie he survives. Also Hooper and officer Brody’s wife have a sexual fling mid-story but that was written out entirely.
