Sail By: James Patterson Blog # 1

The book I'm reading is Sail by James Patterson. This is probably one of the best books I've ever read! I like this book because the chapters are short but the book is long. So far I've read to page 195 and chapter 61.
This book is about a family ( The Family Dunne) who goes on a boat trip and something happens along the way. Katherine is the mother of three children (Carrie, Ernie, and Mark) and she has lost her first husband on a sailing trip and is on the second. While the family goes on this trip Katherine's new husband goes on a business trip to New York. Peter ( her husband) is a lawyer and Katherine is a doctor. Before Katherine and her kids leave to set sail with Jake her brother in law, Katherine say her goodbyes to Peter. When the first week goes by, I found out that Peter is having an affair with another woman whose name is Bailey, while he is in New York. Katherine does not know that Peter is with another woman, but Katherine also doesn't know that Jake sees her differently. More than a sister-in-law. Then after about 2-3 weeks the Family Dunne boat has blown up! Everyone on the boat is in the water hopefully not drowning. Carrie and I think Mark are swimmers and compete in school as a sport. Carrie saves Jake from a shark that might attack the whole family, but she finds the red box that has stuff to help you in just incase you are stranded. She finds a gun and she has never shot a gun before, so she is very nervous and doesn't want to miss and hit one of her family members. She fires the gun and it doesn't hit the shark, but also doesn't hit anyone else. Now Peter, whose in New York finds out that something is wrong with his family and doesn't want to deal with Bailey anymore, and wants to figure out what happened to The Family Dunne. While the Dunne family is in the ocean almost everyone is injured and Katherine doesn't have a leg and the children had some burns and Jake was knocked out for quite a while.

This is probably the best book I've ever read. It just is very interesting to read and keeps you into it. I like how the chapters are short too. That also keeps me reading, and keeps me excited that I've read that far.

I think the author wrote this book because he wanted an interesting book to have people read and keep interested. Maybe also he wanted to put a point of view into the audiences minds and make them think about what could happen to someone. I don't really have any questions right now, but I might later in the book.
