I've been using this MSI wind for two weeks now and love it. Fast, sleek and cool looking. Not a big geek but use it for writing, I can't say enough good things about it. Comes with almost no software so you'll need to buy that once you get it.

While I wish the player had analog audio outputs for my 7.1 compatible non-HDMI receiver, I am most pleased with the available audio options on this player given it was under $200. While providing the standard PCM and bitstream output options, I struggled to understand how I would benefit from eith

Product Description:

Since the death of her husband, Anne Dunne and her three children have struggled in every way. In a last ditch effort to save the family, Anne plans an elaborate sailing vacation to bring everyone together once again. But only an hour out of port, everything is going wrong. The teenage daughter, Carrie, is planning to drown herself. The teenage son, Mark, is high on drugs and ten-year-old Ernie is nearly catatonic. This is the worst vacation ever.
Anne manages to pull things together bit by bit, but just as they begin feeling like a family again, something catastrophic happens. Survival may be the least of their concerns.
Written with the blistering pace and shocking twists that only James Patterson can master, SAIL takes "Lost" and "Survivor" to a new level of terror.

How did Patterson's name get on this book?
10/10/2008
I guarantee he never even read it. This is a book about what goes on in sailing written by a guy who's never been on a boat.
Paragraph after paragraph - once they're on the boat, the actions either can't happen, wouldn't happen or contradict what has already been said.
If you've ever sailed, this is maddening. If you've never sailed, you will have to assume that sailors are schizophrenic superheroes who, most of the time, transform into completely useless idiots. That's what the author would have us believe.
Horrible unreadable book. Sailors beware.

Quick read, lacking substance
10/9/2008
I read this book in less than 24 hours. The chapters are short like most Patterson books. This book lacked detail and the detail it had was humorous.

There is a wealthy lawyer from Manhattan and it is stated that you can tell he is rich because he has his own aircraft. The aircraft listed is a Cessna Skyhawk. This aircraft is a training aircraft and one used by most novice aviators of middle class, not overpaid lawyers from NY.

This book reads just slightly better than a Encyclopedia Brown book. Hopefully Patterson will stop mass producing books and create something well researched.

Too implausable to be enjoyed
10/8/2008
The mother of a wealthy, dysfunctional family decides to spend a summer sailing with her teenage children in hopes of improving relationships between siblings and their mother. They invite the uncle of the children to join them as captain of the yacht. The children's stepfather, a wealthy lawyer, stays home in New York so the mother and her children can bond better without competing with the husband/wife relationship.

Things start to go wrong aboard the boat from day one. Someone has tampered with the ship, so it almost sinks, but before that happens, the daughter tries to commit suicide by jumping overboard! The plot slides downhill from there.

The writers of this book seem to assume that their readers will know nothing about boats or boating and will accept any impossible fabrication, e.g., a family on a sinkiing ship that doesn't try to contact the Coast Guard for help, and giant snakes living in deserted Bahama islands that attack people and eat them, The entire story is based on the premise that the shipwrecked family put a note in a coke bottle, which was immediately eaten by a giant tuna, which was caught the next day or so and the bottle recovered, which ultimately led to the family's rescue. If that sounds like a good read to you, you will enjoy this book!

AWFUL DISSAPOINTMENT!
9/24/2008
As a James patterson fan, I was deeply dissaointed with this book. Its obvious he is just letting his name be attached to books just to make money. This was more predictable, fake, and unrealistic than a silly movie.


I was flipping the pages literally stunned that each event was ACTUALLY happening because it was so stupid and surreal.

Dont waste your time. This book stinks.

The Patterson name must be a stamp.
9/9/2008
James Patterson has written some memorable thrillers but Sail seems to be written by a ghost writer who is new (or tired) of the genre and pushed to this book on the masses using the Patterson label. Don't get me wrong, this is a quick and easy read, but the characters never seem to grasp the readers interest. The scene is set when the dad is killed in a sailing accident and the family tumbles into chaos. The mother is a character that should have been written out of the story. The dialog seems to date back to the Twenties and the characters are all flat. Does this sound like the Patterson we know? I've given it three stars but could easily understand someone giving it one star - what I can't understand is someone giving it five stars.

Editor of the highly recommended novel: Fates by Georgiou Tino: Best of 2008
