 Sail...a Great Book to Read August 13, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book was well written as all of James Patterson's books are. As I was reading this book, I was sitting on the beach looking out at the ocean, and I felt like I was on that sailboat with the family who were lost at sea. There was a lot of suspense in this book, and the author really knows how to hold the reader's interest. And I highly reccommend buying this book for yourself or giving to someone as a gift.

Sail is a predictable, nothing special thriller. I could see where it was going from the middle of the book. The characters were not all that believable and you were not that empathetic for them. I was hoping for more to happen to them on the island, but the only things that did happen on the island were predictable, and then they were quickly in court. Nothing special.
 Completely unbelievable. . . August 11, 2008

Was this book supposed to be taken seriously by the reader? It just so happens that the largest tuna, shark, and snake ever known to man make an appearance in this book. After reading the prologue, I knew this book was going to be absurd and far-fetched. Cliche after cliche fill the remainder of this book, the authors using awfully convenient situations to keep the story moving. James Patterson is the epitome of sheer greed in its finest form. There is no reason that he has to produce a book almost monthly just to make as much money as possible. Patterson sacrifices quality in preference for quantity. He needs to go back to writing books by himself which are enjoyable to read. As long as he keeps using other authors to write his books I no longer will buy them. He has lost a long-time fan.

This is my second reading of James Patterson after his "you've been warned". However, unlike "you've been warned" which really impressed me and made me think a lot, this book is very disappointing. This book includes every elements, murder plots, weathly family problem, explosion, CIA..., to make it attractive, but it failed for me. Very plain story, with bad bad guy and good good guy. --But it could be made into a very typical Hollywood movie.

This is the first book I've read by James Patterson and I'm disappointed. First, if you're going to write a book at least make it accurate. Right in the beginning Katherine thanks Peter for flying the family (2 adults and 3 kids) to the marina in a Cessna Skyhawk, a 4 seater airplane. Later on Peter wears a $6000 suit but probably can't afford voice mail since the maid hears a message on the home answering machine. A doctor and a lawyer in Manhattan with an answering machine! I thought I was going to read something by a seasoned author. This is just a foolish, unbelievable tale. I didn't even finish it.
