Shark Week 2


Book Description

Nothing puts a smile on a shark’s face like Shark Week. Getting your leg bitten off is trendier than getting a tattoo, nowadays. It makes a great story to tell and you can even make a movie about it. When they are not exploring space, growing five additional heads, or traveling by means of tornadoes, sharks are busy getting turned into robots, lava, sand, ice, or ghosts. Sharks are our friends, except when they’re hungry, which they usually are. If you show signs of weakness or hostility, you will be attacked. If you bleed, you will be attacked. Shark Week is the time of the year when you do not want to be swimming with sharks. In this second edition of Shark Week, I review 78 shark movies and rank them from pathetic to great. Watch them in order; they will only get better!
