Beast

Beast, Peter Benchley, 1991, Random House, Genre: Thriller. 350 pages. Finished 7/23/14.

LesOpinion: As you might expect from the inimitable author of Jaws, this is a rollicking good adventure featuring a giant squid terrorizing tranquil Bermuda. But it's also Benchley's opportunity to rail against the predations of humankind on fish populations and fragile reefs. Unlike stories told by his lesser imitators, this morality tale ends with us finally getting what we deserve.
