Summary: AQUA-PHOBES...BEWARY!
Review: THIS IS A GREAT BOOK THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED!

Hey I loved the movie JAWS and I enjoyed Deep Blue Sea. For reading, I love THE TRENCH, MEG, The Beast, and even White Shark. So if you're like me...then make sure you've added HUNGER to your bookshelf. This seems to be the overlooked 'gem' of the man-eating swimming monster genre.

I first came across this book in 1993 (while waiting in a movie theatre parking lot to see Lethal Weapon 3...never made the movie). The "super-smart" shark angle is really exciting and the fact that they hunt in a pack makes it even more deadly for all the characters who find themselves more than ankle deep in water.

I can't spoil things but lets just say, there's a terrific build-up, nice characterization, and an action-packed finale. If it takes you more than 2 days to finish this book...then you need to take a swim with the sharks. :)

Oh yeah, as my friend and I often say...you can't go scuba diving with a camera and not immediately shudder when an incredibly vivid visual scene from this book jumps into your mind!

Buy this book...and read it on the safety of the beach.

CHOMP!

Summary: Very good...
Review: Very good book about six genetically created Mako sharks with intelligence of dolphins, who escape the lab, where they were created, and bring terror to the Florida region. The book has a really good feel and offers some good thrills. The only thing taking away the additional 5th star is the ending where the female character is just plain stupid - she would rather risk the life of her husband and herself to save dolphins while six huge sharks are coming for them: absolutely stupid and not realistic at all. Otherwise, it's very good.
