You’re right about the effects of the movie, feeling the sun on your face, the cool evenings chill, tasting the salt of the ocean water and the coppery taste of blood as the poor girl is thrashed about in the warm water.
I was too young to know the taste of beer but I did know of the results of getting drunk.
My aunt gave the novel for a Christmas present and I eagerly opened the book and began reading but not before I thoroughly examined the lovely naked woman on the cover!
I don’t remember much differences from the movie but do remember Ellen Brody giving head to Hooper as the we’re going down(no pun intended) a road in a Volkswagen.
Pretty heddy stuff(no pun again) for a 13 year old virgin!
To this day as I am clicking through the channels and I run across the movie,I will stop and watch,hoping I haven’t missed Quint’s Indianapolis solilique
To this day, after countless viewings it still sends a chill down my spine!
The book said Mrs. Brody was giving a highway hummer???
