I enjoyed the way the attacked were described almost from the shark’s point of view, and the added context to the reasons why the town couldn’t shut down. There’s a random chapter of erotica and the book is problematic a few times in way a book from 1972 often is. A couple weird moments of racism, use of the word r+pe to refer both to actual acts and to describe violations of other random types. Used at will. Definitely not the best thing ever but some parts were interesting.
