Jaws: The Revenge by Hank Searls

Under the best of circumstances, novelizations of films add a bit of depth to a screenplay, but anyone who's seen the film Jaws: The Revenge knows these are not the best of circumstances. As a companion to Now Playing's Jaws Movie Review podcast series, Stuart in L.A. is here to review the novelization of this much-maligned film. While author Hank Searls certainly had an unenviable task turning this screenplay about a shark seeing revenge against the Brody family, was his conversion from script to prose a positive one, or did it go belly up? Join Stuart as he details this novel's differences from the film, and describes if it's better or worse!
