Unfortunately, although I give it 3 stars for the plot, all the typos and the grammar mistakes were very distracting. Sea Sick, the first book in the trilogy, has become one of my favorite books. Below are all books available by Iain Rob Wright along with the suggested reading order. more ieve that if this book had gone through a good editor, it would have lived up to its promise. Review 2: A book about zombies, a virus aboard a cruise ship, the same horrific day looping over and over again - all this AND it was called Sea Sick - well that sounded just too good to pass up! I sincerely bel. Hopefully the next book of his that I read makes up for this lackluster book. I was overall kind of disappointed in this book, this is the first time one of his books left me going ''Okay, that was disappointing''. There was big potential that Iain Rob Wright missed and ended up writing a okay book. I did not think that the main character had a good story line and I think that he was rather boring. Review 1: I usually read Iain Rob Wrights books pretty quick, I think they are page turners! This book however really didn't keep me wanting to see what happens next.

The frantumaglia was mysterious, it provoked mysterious actions, it was the source of all suffering not traceable to a single obvious cause" ( Frantumaglia, Kindle edition). Ferrante’s compelling narrative dives into terribly muddy waters and surfaces from them with the strength of truth, where truth means not moral clarity but the unmistakable verity of naked human emotions. They deal with what the author has called frantumaglia, a term she borrows from her mother and her Neapolitan dialect ( frantummàglia): "it referred to a miscellaneous crowd of things in her head, debris in a muddy water of the brain.
