LOVED it. Amongst Benchley's best. I'd say just one small notch below JAWS. I also liked "the girl of the sea of cortez."<BR>
<BR>
You guys may have seen the tv miniseries in the 90's of this one. it's about a giant squid. i have the movie in my netflix queue, so I'll be watching it soon. <BR>
<BR>
Only negative I have is that I found the book ended very abruptly. I've found the same thing about other Benchley novels: As soon as the conflict with the monster is over, the book ends right away.<BR>
