Chills

from page one to the epilog, this book has me in chills as Quint's past was presented. by far the most engaging and entertaining book I've ever experienced. if a movie is done, they better get it right. dacko's writing talent is exceptional btw.

Absolutely phenomenal

I’ve read the book a handful of times so far because there’s just so much detail…however, the audiobook is a completely different experience. This isn’t just narration but more of a play. The brilliant reading and ability to relay the different dialects and accents makes you feel like you’re watching this as a movie. This book is hands down my favorite action story ever written and I feel it’s an even better story than Jaws (movie story)..
This incredible book needs to be made into a motion picture by Spielberg to properly bookmark his career. 10/10

Doesn't get much better than this!

Besides the incredible and lyrical writing, the performance was spectacular! That was Quint I was hearing. I love the Easter eggs hidden throughout the story, tipping the hat to the film and screenplay. This needs to be made into a movie. Well done, Dacko and Waters!

A Must Listen For Any Jaws Fan

Quint comes back to life in this amazing prequel to Jaws! Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed.

Must be made into a JAWS Prequel for 50th!!!

The writing and narration are incredible and the fact that Jonathan Waters did over 20 voices perfectly keeps you wanting more! Spielberg needs to finish his career with an award winning epic movie of The Book of Quint and give the public what they have been craving for all these years... a prequel worthy of the original JAWS!

Great read for any jaws fan

This follows the movie more than the book. That being said, the author did a great job at creating a backstory for Quint.
