Yes, you're right,most of the time the book leaves the movie in the
dust,( with exceptions). For example, I liked the movie "Jaws", and was
moderately frightened by it; however, the fear is nothing on the order
of the terror I experienced while reading first chapter of Benchley's
novel, the scene where the great white circled it's unknowing victim in
the dark oceanic waters, then attacked with ferocious, state-of-the-art
(cutting *serrated* edge) efficiency.
Blenchley's superb prose stimulated my imagination in a way the Spielbergian movie could not, in spite of the films excellent special
effects. - AH
