Product Description
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.

 SAIL August 7, 2008
First of all, I am a huge fan of James Patterson books. I have so many that my bookcase is bulging. This book is one of my favorites. It is a quick read. (Great for taking on vacation) Mr. Patterson is known for taking twists and turns and I am usually mad at him because of whom he made the "bad guy" in the book but this time I was very pleased with him!! Enjoy!!
 Big Disappointment August 7, 2008

As a long time James Patterson fan, I was very disappointed with this book. The characters lacked development, the events began and ended too fast for the reader to gain an emotional attachment to what was going on. It seemed everything was crammed into the book in order to make it more interesting, but it just made it more unrealistic. It comes off as a book written in a hurry in order to make it on people's summer reading list. For the most part, it was a waste of my time and I would not recommend it to my friends.
 Better than his most recent books. August 6, 2008

After not fully enjoying his past few books I was skeptical about reading this one. This book was given to me by a friend,so I figured if i dont like it no loss since I didnt pay for it. I was a bit surprised as to how well this book really was. A very good story line and a quick read. Also his characters werent the one dimensional types he normally creates. i dont want to give the story away so i wont get into details but the ending shocked me, normally I can come very close to predicting his endings but with this book I wasnt able to. If you are/were a doubting thomas (like me) when it comes to reading pattersons books,you may want to pick this one up and give him a second chance.

i love most of patterson's books. even when he co-athors i wish i could have thought of doing it. i will keep reading his books. i will re read them like all of my books. i can't believe how much i miss the first time i read a book. the re-read makes me know i can sleep while reading just the same as watching tv. thanks for giving me something to take me to another place.
Another Disappointment August 3, 2008

Once again, James Patterson has put his name to another author's work. His name should be followed by James Patterson, Mass Publisher.
I thought the writing was as if a teenager wrote the book. The main character was kind of sily and was not very likable The only character that was likable, her brother-in-law, was killed off after the author led us to believe that he would be the hero. Toward the end of the book, it did get a little better. It is hard to believe that the bad guy (her husband) could cover up his evil side long enough to woo and marry her. There is no explanation even of how they met and got married, especially, with her working day and night at the hospital.
I think I am going to write Patterson's name off my list of favorite authors. If you really want to read a good book where you get your money's worth, try Greg Iles or P.J. Parrish.
Although I personally am not talented enough to write a book, I do expect famous authors making millions off the masses to at least find authors who have the same style of writing before putting their name on it. He should be embarrassed to take credit for this book.
