Summary: WOW!!!
Comment: All I want to say is "spectacular" kept me on the edge of my coach : ) I recommend this book to people who hate to read because this will change thier mind forever! Please read this book!!!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Leave it shoreside
Comment: When can you tell that an author has lost all perspective? When he starts franchising his last name faster than a fast food chain? When the entire back cover of his book is a pensive-looking portrait? Or maybe when he just stops trying? Patterson does all three in latest offering, which reads like a failing-grade high school literature assignment and manages to simultaneously bore and insult the reader. What little interest the plot generates is completely lost in the last few chapters, when Patterson abandons any sense of reality in favor of an artificial series of twists that make earlier portions of the book seem like Shakespeare. For an easy beach read with a similar plot (albeit with some humor and two, if not three, dimensional characters), pick up Carl Hiaasan's "Skinny Dip" instead.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good mystery book
Comment: Haven't finished it yet, but it has kept my interest just like most of his others
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great classic James Patterson
Comment: It's what you'd expect from James Patterson. He always delivers the suspense and the awesome short chapters that just keep you moving. I do miss reading about Alex Cross but his extra books are good fillers to get you through until the next Alex book comes out.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Do we really need another James Patterson written with XXXXX?
Comment: I enjoy James Patterson and I enjoyed the book. However, it was so minimal in the writing I felt like it was unfinished. I love exotic settings and fleshed out characters. I like to sink into a story and live it until it was done.
I feel that if James Patterson's name wasn't on it, he'd have a hard time finding a publisher.

Editorial Reviews:
|
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.
