About this listen

Jaws is the classic blockbuster thriller that inspired the three-time Academy Award-winning Steven Spielberg movie and made millions of beachgoers afraid to go into the water. Experience the thrill of helpless horror again—or for the first time!

Jaws was number 48 in the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Movies, and the film earned the coveted number-one spot on the Bravo network's 100 Scariest Movie Moments countdown.

This timeless tale of man-eating terror that spawned a movie franchise, two video games, a Universal Studios theme park attraction, and two musicals is finally available on audio for the first time ever!

Erik Steele did a great job narrating this book and was very engaging. If you're a fan of the movie, you'll be a fan of the book too.

The movie isn't an exact replica of the book, but the main elements of the movie are here in the book.

The movie fan. Now the book fan too.

Great characterisation by the narrator. Well paced and held the tension well. Very happy listening all the way through.

Good quality professional narrator

A great book, if you ignore the weirdly sexual sub-plot and odd use of words here and there. Skip chapter 8 if you don't want to be cringing the whole time. Otherwise an excellent reading by Erik Steele who I don't envy for having to read some of these gross sentences out loud. I would suggest if you are interested in the main plot of a man-eating shark, watch the movie, just trust me.

Classic but Dated

And completely unnecessary. But as a free listen from audible sub, as a fan of the franchise I didn’t regret the time spent. The characters really make the story. But the Ellen Brady subplot, just no. You’ll see what I mean when you hear it.

That subplot was unexpected…

Lack of detail from the author, and a lack of expression from the narrator.
Average in my opinion could have been better

The movie was better
