I found this book to be a bore. I think James Patterson should stop collaborating with other authors. I was happy when I finished it. Gave it to a co-worker & told her to keep it. I love his books but this is not one of them. Don't bother.
This book was great. - a real page turner. I highly recommend this excellent read.
I know this wasn't intended as anything other than beach reading. Even so, if you have ever sailed a boat, been to the Bahamas, or flown an airplane the technical bloopers will leave you unable to enjoy the book. For one great example - trying not to spoil too much - Anaconda snakes do NOT swim in the Atlantic Ocean and sleeping on the beach in the Bahamas is NOT in any way risking being eaten by a large boa constrictor LOL.
No need to rehash the story line that others have mentioned.this story and its characters never seemed the least bit real or believable to me.I was disappointed and think I will take a break from this author for awhile.
Okay, so I buy the premise of the book. The last couple of books from Patterson have been ridiculously well, ridiculous. So many "events" transpire - suicidal daughter who later shoots a shark with the flare gun, joint smoking son who later not only saves his mom from the snake but the evil stepfather too.
Could be good. I know it's fiction but come on. Career lady (cardiac surgeon specifically) loses her husband and tries to reconnect with her kids via sailing trip.
There were so many events that were so far past believable and/or plausible. It's not. Absolutely painful to read after about chapter 4-5.
Maybe Patterson and his band of merry men/women co-writers could think about giving the people who buy his (their) books a bit more. Until Patterson stops churning out this awful cookie cutter nonsense with far too many factual and plot errors, I just refuse to be duped again so no more Patterson for this girl.
