Fast paced, action-packed adventure. You never guess what misfortune will befall this family next or how they are going to get out alive. (Some don't!) Great characters; great story. Enjoy!

I had read the book and enjoyed the CD much more.
I wouldn't say this book was predictable, but I would say there was a lot of gratuitous twists and turns to keep the reader interested enough to make it a best seller. It was a good book, with an interesting plot, but there was so much going on. Every chapter had another plot twist and added character, making me feel like the writer didn't feel the original characters and storyline carried enough merit on their own. I liked this book, but didn't love it. I wanted the writer to expound on the characters on the boat. It felt like they were there solely to tell the story of the greedy attorney. Something was missing from this book, but I can't put my finger on what it was. It felt written for mass production, not for the purpose of storytelling. This was my first James Patterson book. I will probably read more in the future, but I'm hoping the rest of them have a little more meat for true book lovers, and not so much dessert for those who need a surface summer vacation read.
Not my favorite Patteron book, but I can't tell if that was because of the story or the reading.
Great book, filled with action and suspense.
Loved it! Easy plot to listen to and couldn't wait to hear what happened next.
