Patterson Sets off with Sail
January 16th, 2009
James Patterson, acclaimed as one of the bestselling authors of all time, has done it again with his new novel, Sail.
Sail tells the story of Catherine Dunne, a 45-year-old heart surgeon with 3 children; she was widowed when her first husband died in a sailing accident. Newly married to a rich defense attorney, Catherine decides to make up for lost time with her children by going on a 2-month sailing trip with them.
As soon as they set sail, terrible things happen, beginning with the discovery of each of her children’s secrets.
Her eldest daughter attempts to commit suicide by jumping overboard while Mark, her son, is discovered smoking pot. Catherine’s youngest child, Ernie, is about to self-destruct. She tries to keep things afloat but just as she manages to smooth things out, she and her children learn that somebody wants to kill them.
This fast-paced thriller will keep Patterson fans glued to the book. Although it is not like his usual guess-whodunit-and-what-happens type of book, it still manages to deliver as Patterson gives one thrilling scene after another. Some book lovers and critics say that there’s nothing new in the book, but several more claim that Patterson’s fast-paced and intense storytelling are what make the story interesting and exciting.
Patterson’s characters are also realistic. They can be our neighbor or the guy at the grocery store we see every Friday.
Sail is pure excitement and gripping suspense all the way!
