This classic definitely keeps the reader on edge with scenes varying from mysterious to terrifying, to incredibly wrong. Jaws tells a tale of a peaceful town, Amity, and how a sudden death in the sea leads to further killings, a sneaky affair, and the discovery of a corrupt mayor. The cause of the deaths leads to a monstrous great white shark, which is referred to "the fish" in the book.
The main character, Martin Brody is the police chief of Amity is constantly informed of the rising deaths on the beach. He tries everything he can to close down the beaches, but Amity mayor, Vaughn refuses to carry out the plan, as the amount of tourism will decrease with closed beaches, leading to a drop in money. With no other alternatives, Brody is left to hunt the shark with a local fisherman, Quint, and an out-of-town shark expert, Hooper.
