If Jaws frightened you, Creature will make you wet your pants. Never has a book caught my attention so fast as this one did. Never describing to you what the Creature looks like until the last 30 or so pages. Keeping you guessing, is it a shark? Is it a whale? Is it an underwater dog? (Yes I thought that was what it was.)Benchley made a name for himself with Jaws, and Creature only betters his reputataion. Get this book and read it. With the lights on.

Creature was so gripping that I devoured (read) it in 4 days. It kept me on the edge of my seat and i couldn`t put it down. Horrer novels and movies never scare me but I actually thought twice before going in the water again. If you love a good scare now and then,I would pick up a copy of this book and devour it before it devours you! I can`t wait to read White shark. Can you?

A terrific mix of science and imagination
I thought this was a great book with a pleasant mix of science and imagination. Reguardless of what others say, I highly recommend it to anyone. Very factual, and semi-probable.
