Book Review: Sail by James Patterson and Howard Roughan

For some reason I was not looking forward to reading this book but it spoke to me from the bookshelf and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a good page turning adventure read with plenty of suspense and action.

It concerns a mother facing her failings in the past and trying to reconcile her life with her three children and their uncle. They decide to go on a voyage on their yacht for two months. The dysfunctional family set off and unknown to them their stepfather is set to kill them all and inherit all the money that the mother has, that is in excess of $100 million.

The boat is sabotaged and they endure storms and many nightmarish episodes. However it does bring the family together and forces the truth out into the spotlight.

We see good triumphing over evil and it is a satisfying read.

8/10 for me.
