Jaws is the perfect example of the old saying “the book is better than the movie” not always being true.

Have to agree with Will. Jaws was a much better film than book. Also too many book included on this list that are popular but poorly written:Da Vinci Code, Along Came a Spider for example.

Also: I have to read this essay on Benchley’s JAWS to see just how kind history has been to it; I reread it just last month and it’s as lame as ever!

Hitch had more than exquisite taste, he had nearly a con artist’s nose for business and made sure when buying the rights to said books/stories, the authors’ agents *never knew* it was Hitch who was buying. He got rights dirt-cheap.
