Peter Benchley's fiction all stemmed from his true life fascination with the ocean and its creatures. He was a very vocal conservationist and famously condemned the rampant shark hunting that struck the shores of America after the release of the film based on his book JAWS.
If you like the ocean and it's creatures (even the mean ones) i suggest you pick up a Benchly novel. Even in Jaws the shark is a lot less of a 'villan' than it is in the (excellent) movie. It's just a shark doing what sharks do.
Ya might even learn something.
Check it out, i really suggest it.
