Book Reviews of Sail
Book Review: Sail On.
Summary: 4 Stars
It has been a while since I have read a James Patterson novel, so I decided to give Sail a try. I know this novel has many flaws, as other reviewers have pointed out, and I would think the author(s) where on autopilot, while writing it, but I have to say I found it an enjoyable page turner.
It is nothing like other thriller novels written by this author, as it is a fairly simple story, with not much thinking involved. The action is just laid out in front of you. I read it quickly, as there was always something happening that would make we want to read on further. I feel a bit guilty about it, but I am going to give this book four stars.
Summary of Sail
Since the death of her husband, Anne Dunne and her three children have struggled in every way. In a last ditch effort to save the family, Anne plans an elaborate sailing vacation to bring everyone together once again. But only an hour out of port, everything is going wrong. The teenage daughter, Carrie, is planning to drown herself. The teenage son, Mark, is high on drugs and ten-year-old Ernie is nearly catatonic. This is the worst vacation ever.Anne manages to pull things together bit by bit, but just as they begin feeling like a family again, something catastrophic happens. Survival may be the least of their concerns.
Written with the blistering pace and shocking twists that only James Patterson can master, SAIL takes "Lost" and "Survivor" to a new level of terror.
