Book Vs. Movie: Jaws
The 1974 book Vs. the 1975 movie
(From the Book Vs. Movie Vaults!)

The Margos take an oldie but a goodie out of the vaults this week!!
"Jaws" is a classic thriller that originated from Peter Benchley's novel and was later transformed into a blockbuster film directed by Steven Spielberg. The novel was published in 1974, and unfortunately, it is not very good. You will soon find out the reasons why! However, Spielberg's adaptation, which was released in 1975, focuses more on the suspense and thrill of the shark attacks, emphasizing the horror elements.

In this ep, the Margos discuss:
