- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book that is full of suspense. A group of young people set off sailing from The Pillipines to New Zealand, but the blissful trip is recounted through Lana's memories and reflections. Her best friend Kitty is along for the ride. There is a love affair and plenty of conflicts as the characters past baggage emerges along the way. There are unexpected twists and also some grim tragedies, but overall it is an excellent listen. I am glad to have stumbled on this great author and will consider listening to others. Highly recommended.
The narrator primarily does an Irish accent, so some words are a bit hard to understand, but she also does a convincing French accent, an Australian accent and a less convincing German accent, which really brought life to the six characters aboard the boat. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sailing the Ocean Blue....
Damn that was good! My stomach is in knots! I've found a new favorite author and as soon as I finished this one, I bought one of her other books, Swimming at Night. I hope it's just as good!
The Blue is about two girls, Lana and Kitty, who decide to leave their old life behind. So one day they close their eyes, spin the globe and go wherever there finger lands -the Philippines. While they're at the resort, they meet a group of travelers that have also left their lives behind and are sailing around the world on a fifty-foot yacht-The Blue. After Lana and Kitty spend a night on the boat, the crew votes to bring them on board as crew members if they're interested. Of course, this is exactly the escape they were hoping for so they jump at the chance. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to end- and so does their new found paradise...
And unfortunately the book ended too! : ( which I'm hating right now because it really was that good! If I had to compare it, off-the-top of my head I would say it's 'somewhat' similar to The Woman In Cabin 10 but I think The Blue- characters, plot, everything is a thousand times better. If you enjoy nautical themed novels, then you seriously don't want to miss this one! It's a perfect summer read!
Now I'm off, in search of more similar books, in hopes of curing my huge book hangover! : ) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The amount of research that went into writing this---whew!! However, the author does admit that any mistakes are hers alone but I was certainly impressed with the details. I kept wondering how she was going to solve the puzzles she presented---really a wonderful read--turn the page and surprise! Things turned around, again and again. I went looking for this book because I had just finished her newest one--well worth the search.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my first Lucy Clarke book and what a great book it is. Lana and her best friend since childhood, Kitty, spin a globe and end up in the Philippines. They meet the crew of The Blue, a yacht destined for New Zealand. They join them on their journey and enjoy the carefree existence that it offers. But things take a sinister turn and Lana finds herself at odds with everybody else.This is a brilliant book. It's gripping and I found it very hard to put down. You can tell Lucy Clarke knows a lot about the sea and sailing because she portrays it so well. The story is told in chapters titled either 'then' or 'now' which helps to ramp up the tension as it all unfolds. I think this should be considered to be one of this year's best psychological thrillers. It's very atmospheric and even though the voyage isn't quite plain sailing, it still sounds very appealing. I loved it.
