So anyway, We open with the shark making a meal of two divers that come upon the wreck of the Orca, the same boat that sank during the first movie as Quint got eaten by shark number 1. Then it's onto a lovely young couple out water-skiing. Our shark comes up behind her and she's a goner pretty swiftish, quickly followed by her young man who manages to blow up the speedboat just as he's then snacked upon himself.
It goes on like this throughout the book with various fish, seals and people as well as giant squid copping it sooner or later. What makes it really interesting is that we see it all through the eyes of our pregnant female shark before getting the human view too for good measure.
It's not a long book and proceeds along a not unexpected path at quite a rate while the shark hunts for food, seeking to ease the hunger brought on by the several babies she's carrying and ends up attempting to clear the birthing area(as it were) of boats that are participating in the local race, or regatta, or ...whatever it is. Lots of mayhem and boat-munching takes place at this juncture and the usual blood-bath ensues. It's not all bad news though. There's a little seal that has been a cute little character throughout the book that gets away and finds a new mummy right at the very end after his real mum spends quite some time waiting off the coast for him, only to be eaten just before he ventures back into the ocean to find her(you'll see what I mean soon enough). Ahhh.... sweet!
Very good. I really liked it.
