Janet’s Book Nook

I finished James Patterson’s latest book last night. When I first started this book I was very concerned that it was going to be very predictable. The characters were interesting enough and the storyline was good but I could see what was going to happen next at every turn. That changed toward the end of the book when the predictability went out of the window.

This book is centered around a female heart surgeon who has lost connections with most of her children. Her first husband passed away and she has remarried. Her teenage son and daughter are caught up in their own vices and addictions and her youngest son is turning to food to calm his fears. She decides to take them all on a sailing trip to help them reconnect and bond. This trip is doomed from the very beginning and in the end the family is brought together by the felonious actions of someone very close to the family.

While  I don’t count this book as one of Patterson’s best books it was enthralling enough to keep my attention and I was able to read it in about three days. I recommend it for fans of his since like me they will want to read anything her writes. If you are new to Patterson it  probably isn’t the best place to start. Let me know what you think about it. Enjoy!
