Synopsis (Found on Goodreads.com)
Dragged out to sea with nothing but a piece of trash to keep him afloat, Davey is certain things can't get any worse...and then he spots a shark.
He couldn't sleep. That's how it all started.
When Davey wakes, just as the sun is rising, he can't wait to slip out of the crammed hotel room he's sharing with his family. Leave it to his parents and kid brother to waste an entire day of their vacation sleeping in! Davey heads for the beach, book and glasses in hand, not bothering to leave a note. As the sparkling ocean entices him, he decides he will just test the water. Never mind that "No Swimming" sign. But when the waves pull him farther and farther out to sea, Davey finds himself surrounded not only by water, but something else--something circling below the surface.

So I was in the middle of writing a review for this book and my stupid computer just freaked out and shut off, not saving everything I wrote.
Needless to say I am extremely pissed off and I am not writing everything again. So sorry this book will not be getting a review.
Just know it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Its similar to the movie "Open Water" which is better than this book.
