Loved the movie. I remember the summer the book came out; seeing people on the beach reading the book and thinking, hey its just a book. I read the book and then was petrified of the water. To overcome my fear, my brother and I swam out to the end of the barrels, which were the enclosed swimming area. I felt that I conquered my fear. We were about 100 yds from the beach and I was facing the beach. My brother is facing me, looking out toward the open water. Suddenly he gets this look of terror on his face, turns, and starts swimming (flailing) towards the beach. My immediate thought is JAWS! I passed him in about 10 yds and never stopped until I reached the beach (bastard).
