 Excellent Read August 20, 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, couldnt put it down in fact. Not one of the best but a close second. Would highly recommend this, you wont be disappointed.
 Sunk August 8, 2008
Another woeful outing from James Patterson whose last three outings have seen him regulated from eagerly anticipated to so what. The characters are flat and the story poorly conceived and executed - where does a huge man eating snake come from in Bermuda? It's another straight to video.
 Sail - was just what I needed! August 1, 2008
After reading You've been warned by the same authors I wondered if this book was going to be such hard going! To my delight this was a book I did not want to put down and found myself reading it through the night.
James Paterson deserves his money as he has produced some brilliant books which I have enjoyed. His skill from going from tense thrillers to love stories, one off stories to follow on stories speaks for itself and I hope he is around for many years for me to continue reading and enjoying his books.
As for SAIL read it and enjoy!
An OK 'time filler quickie' July 26, 2008
Another page turning quick read from Patterson and another ghost writer. The story reminds me of a Tales of the Unexpected episode, it is straight out of the Roald Dahl quick thrillers with a twist. A fine quick pop-corn read where you don't have to think too much. It doesn't really pull any punches, thrill, or shock, but really is a time filler OK read. Overall, I guess it took as long to write as it does to read.

I am disgusted with myself,I can't even look myself in the eye. Because I read this piece of dross till the bitter end.
Like some horrible blind date I can still feel Mr Pattersons sticky cliches and clumsy plotlines licking around my conscious. Worse even than that is the hum of utter contempt and hubris he generates to the reader as he nibbles around your inner ear.
This is an author who despises his readership.The very same people who have made him as rich as Midas and kept him published for years.
He thinks you are a bunch of fools. He really does. So arrogant and convinced of your innate stupidity is he, that he's dropped all pretense of even trying to deliver a story of any worth whatsoever.
Why else would the characters all be fleshed out like so many finger puppets;immobile,hackneyed and contrived?
A plot so A to B predictable?
A complete neglect of any aspect of technical detail it can only be described as nothing less than pure bone idled laziness?
And just in case you still thought Mr Patterson had even a shred of respect for you he then pisses all over your face with a denouement so rushed, cheap and cobbled together you choke.
Come on James. It's time to come clean. Tell us it was all a dinner party joke. That you just wanted to see if your publisher and public would fall for it?
And we did. In our tens of thousands. You must be laughing into your Krug.
I bought a hardback. 7.95 .
And I want my money back.
Yours sincerely
