Summary: Simply a reprint of White Shark -- Dont buy if you own it
Review: White Shark was made into a television mini-series for ABC and was re-titled 'Creature'. DO NOT buy this book if you already own 'White Shark'.

The creature itself, a product of Nazi experimentation is awakened near a small island off the coast of connecticut. A marine biologist soon finds himself fighting to save himself and the ones he loves from this bilogical weapon. Most of us are familiar with the insane Nazi experiments conducted during WWII. Attempts to re-animate the dead and create, quite literally, biological weapons in the forms of 'creatures' all were failures...as far as we know. (Gamers may see similiarity between the video game Resident Evil and the real-life experiments of the Nazi regime in terms of 'Bio' weapons and 'zombies') Read my review of White Shark for my full opinion on this book!

Summary: Silly fish story misses mark
Review: White Shark/Creature (the cover of Creature clearly states that this was previously released as White Shark) is about a hidden Nazi plot being released. Something is in the water and it is vicious. It kills like a shark but is not. It's a man-shark hybrid! Now here is the really silly part, the creature has been taught how to adapt to land (it has done this before), but it has not been taught how to go back in the water (so how did it get there?).

So, after creating havoc in the water, the creature becomes the Saturday Night Live "land shark" and starts stalking the land. Just when you decided to never go in the water again, the sharks take to land.

This was a huge disappointment after Beast and the movie was even worse. If you want a good book, this one is not it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Socked it to me!
Review: Yes, did read the original titled "Great White". Of course u expect another shark but what Peter Benchley gives u is a lot better and scarier! If u were afraid to go in the water before, now, ha! forget it! Also, have a question for those of u who did read the book and maybe saw the miniseries movie on TV. When did this movie come out and who was in it! Maybe there is someone who could even help me to get a copy of the movie, would love to see it! Would be great to see the characters and the actual creature come to life! please respond as soon as u can to my email address! kevin_morin@und.nodak.edu thanks!
