Sail

I gave up on the James Patterson series at number 6. When I was in the bookstore today, I see that he's up to number 9. Blech. I don't even know why I bother with him anymore. Especially when his books have a co-author.

This book was about a family who goes on a family trip on their boat. The boat explodes and they end up on a deserted island. The Coast Guard tries to find them but eventually gives up their search. Then, a fisherman catches a giant fish and when it was being weighed, a bottle falls out of its mouth with a letter from the family saying they're still alive. Yay! How convenient.

The husband, who conveniently stayed behind has orchestrated the whole thing so that he can inherit his wife's fortune. Once he finds out that they are still alive, he begins his own search and finds them. He wants them dead so he raises his gun to his sleeping wife and the son strikes him with a log.

He's convicted and everyone lives happily ever after.
