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.

 Anyone for a sail? July 4, 2008

I loved this story. I couldn't put the book down. In fact, I read it all in less than 24 hours. It was exciting, a real page turner. I loved what I thought as the very real dysfunctional family related to the death of their father, being raised with lots of money and privilege and teens who were typically rebellious and a mother who was too busy with her career to care. I do believe a lot of these families do exist. And to see them struggle but grow and mature with near disasters is heart warming. We can only hope that it could actually happen to families such as these.
The story was action packed--never a boring minute. The "new" husband was exactly the kind of guy known as a "gold digger". I was very happy that he turned out to be behind a lot of the chaos----happy to see him go down.
This kind of read is perfect for the beach or hot tub---pure entertainment, fast reading and exciting all the way to the end.

I'm a big Patterson fan, and have always loved his fast paced thrillers. I took "Sail" to the beach over the weekend and had an enjoyable time with this Patterson offering. This one stands on its own, and does so with strong sea legs. I highly recommend it to Patterson fans.

Gripping...
When I think of the word sail, I think of placid waters, a blowing breeze, and a gentle lull of the water as it slaps against the hull. (I admit I have never been sailing and have romanticized the sport).
In James Patterson's latest book Sail, the sea and voyage is anything but placid. What began as a vacation that would pull her family closer together quickly turned into a nightmare. I have never been a fan of Patterson. I was pleasantly surprised when Sail quickly captured my attention and held it all the way through. I eagerly turned the pages in this epic size novel. There were enough twists and turns throughout the book to remind me of a back road in Kentucky. The suspense in Sail is incredibly thick in this book. Readers will quickly connect to Sail.
