5.0 out of 5 stars My paperback copy is worn to tatters!, Feb 4 2004
By JESSE R. MC Glown "derosierjr" (Enterprise, AL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was actually hoping to order a new copy...this novel has the unfortunate baggage of being in the eternal shadow of its predecessor, "Jaws"...and that's a genuine shame. "The Deep" reeks with authenticity. Benchley is in his element here. I was deeply enthralled with all the historical narrative given by Treece...fascinating stuff! I agree with a couple of other reviews; the story ended too glibly. The rich detail offered here...Benchley is part of that rare breed of author who manages to instruct while he entertains ( and without being remotely didactic, unlike a popular "technothriller" author I could name! ). The Deep actually transports me to a remote island. I get in the mood for this yarn, and for two days I simply cannot put it down! With every sucessive read, I find myself hoping the ending will turn out favorably for our characters (!)...how many novels can lay claim to having that degree of staying power? Forget the lackluster movie adaptation; interestingly, this novel is far superior, while I've always felt Speilberg's rendering of "Jaws" almost surpassed the novel of that name by this same author! Approach "The Deep" with the expectation of a good "treasure hunt" story versus an epic sea monster tale, and you won't be disappointed ( that is, if you can obtain a copy ).
