I was hoping for a good horror novel, as it’s October, and Halloween and all, but I was rather disappointed. I didn’t find it classified as a horror. The resetting day was just meh. I knew how the virus was administered from the very beginning. I just kept reading to see if the guy managed to save the world or not.

I was expecting a lot from this book by Iain Rob Wright, having read most of his previous books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed - 'Sea Sick' is intriguing, gruesome in places, and, most importantly for me, really made me think about the subject matter.
I loved the character of Jack, the troubled police officer sent off on a cruise for a rest - poor Jack didn't get a rest at all! The way his character was written made it really easy to picture him in my mind, which tends to make characters much more endearing to me.
The subject of the book made me consider what a catastrophe it would be should something like this happen for real. What a terrifying thought that was - the end of the world no less!
The scene and minor characters were written well, and the beginning of this fascinating and terrible story began to unfold. I loved this part of the book as I could tell it was going to be one that I could really get my teeth into.
In the middle of the book, when Jack was re-living his very own version of 'Groundhog Day', Iain described each day at first and then skipped days, before each days events would have been so similar as to be boring. I think that just the right amount of days were skipped, and this part held my interest well. The ending was a bit of a surprise, which was great. Predictable endings aren't my thing, so l was impressed with the ending to this book.
I'm a fan of Iain's work anyway, but I particularly loved this book - it has all the elements of a great novel, and kept me awake into the early hours of the morning as I literally could not put it down. Another fantastic book, congratulations Iain!
