3.0-3.5*Not bad. I liked it but certainly not my favorite James Patterson co-written book. I was drawn to the book because of the lost at sea aspect; a scenario that is terrifying! The mixture of a murder plot and scandalous relationships really added to the plot. I did not connect with the characters and found the story a bit predictable. I am not one that is going to complain about the typical shark scene of being lost at sea because, well, honestly as a reader I was waiting for it. The snakeI generally like James Patterson but this book was a disappointment! One dimensional characters in an absurd story. Kat is a rich MD...with a second husband and dysfunctional children. She goes on a two month sailboat cruise with her ex-brother-in-law and former lover as the captain. She leaves her new husband behind but takes her children along in hopes of bonding with them. One disaster after another befalls the family. Each disaster is predictable and boring...flooded boat, lightening strike,
The lure of the airport bookshelf with signs extolling the wonders of Mr. Patterson's writing, the accolades heaped upon the book, etc. I should have known. Luckily I took some other books with me on holiday. I soldiered on, hoping it would get better, but it felt like wasted time.I didn't connect with any of the characters, they seemed very two-dimensional. The plot didn't either grab or surprise me either. Sadly as my first James Patterson, I'm not inclined to try any others. In fact, a book I

Here's some advice: Read a really bad book before you pick up this one.I quit at chapter 60. Why are the chapters only 2 pages long? Why are most of the paragraphs only 2 sentences long? Why is everyone beautiful and a millionaire? Why is the 45 yr old mother/heart surgeon so immature and stupid? How accurate are the medical situations in this book? (Isn't a tourniquet a LAST resort because you can lose your friggin LEG?!) Why is there no depth in this book? Why are problems solved so quickly
SAIL is another James Patterson book that blew my mind. Anne Dunne's family has been falling apart since the death of her husband. Trying to save her family she puts together a wonderful sailing vacation. As soon as they pull away from the dock the craziness starts! The twists and turns keep coming and I had to know how it was going to end! Every time I thought I knew where this story was going, a few pages later, James Patterson threw me for a loop and I knew I was wrong! I'm kicking myself for
This book was not that great, but for some reason I could not stop listening to it. There was just something about it that intrigued me.
