Decent July 16, 2008
As this was the first title I read by Mr Patterson I don't know if "Sail" was typical of his work. It is however a decent 2-3 hour read.
The characters are defined like a crew profile at the beginning of the book. I was not keen on this as I prefer characterisation in novels to be part of the overall story, however the cross-section of the character's lives puts the reader streight into the action.
Too much information is given away in the summary, If you read this title you will know what I mean (I don't want to give away too much).
This book is worth a read but perhaps it would be better to wait for the paperback.
I also recommend Novels by Clive Cussler with particular reference to "The Chace"
 Not Impressed July 8, 2008
I have not read any of Mr Paterson's previous works so I have no yardstick to judge the novel within the body of his work. On a standalone basis I thought the novel was embarrassingly bad, more like the screenplay of a straight to video film. The characters one dimensional and the plots contrived. I selected the novel as light holiday reading and was attracted to the yachting theme. Despite this relatively undemanding requirement I was still disappointed, even some of techie sailing stuff was poorly researched. I won't be visiting Mr Patterson's oeuvre again
 Easy Read July 7, 2008
All I can really say is that this is a typical James Patterson book. The storyline is good quality and you are left with a cliff hanger at the end of every chapter. As usual, there is a twist at the end and the chapters are short a sweet. A good read.

Massive fan of JP however, his books just keep getting worse!!! This has to be the most boring and unrealistic book I have ever read. How the family manage to survice so much just makes it a comedy!!!

I have been a big fun of James Patterson for many years. I have never expected him to write something as terrible and boring as this book. I can't even believe that he wrote this book, it is not his style.
