Bad Points: Total waste of trees

General comments: Like Judy says, Patterson should have done some (ANY) research. I used to like books like this - when I was 12. The Hardy Boys series and the like. Sail reads exactly like a made-for-TV cheap thriller movie. The chapters about the constrictor snake? I skimmed through them in 10 seconds because they were entire rot. Sailing? Patterson knows nothing about sailing. The gun silencer pfft sounds? ONLY on TV and the movies. I will take this bit of drivel back to my local library (thank goodness I never paid for it) and tell my librarian that public money should not be wasted on stuff like this. I will never read another James Patterson.

Absolute drivel! I've never read one of James Patterson's books before, and I won't be running out to buy any more. Ridiculous plot, one dimensional characters and far too many coincidences to be plausible. I'd recommend watching paint dry quicker than reading this.

James Patterson, Sail review - The story is totally implausible. Having sailed the world for some 20 years I can assure readers that Patterson knows nothing about sailing. It is a pity he did not do some research first. The chapter about the giant constricting snake on the Bahamian island is also totally implauseble as there are no constricting snakes in that neck of the woods. Sorry James Patterson - try a bit harder next time.
