Not that I’m a fan of James Patterson , though I’ve watched Breakfast at Tiffanys Twice on LMN TV . As a starving writer and non-traditional college student at New Mexico State, I’ve been working on converting a series of journals about the two plus years I spent homeless into a hopeful novel ; Homeless and Hopeless in the Land of [ so-called] Opportunity. Talking with my friend who works at WalMart and is working on his 3rd novel; I asked him ” I wonder how writers like James Patterson can write and publish 10 or more books per year; while you were asked by the self-publisher to buy back the rights to your non-seller, The Woolridge Tale. We both wondered if Patterson had ghost writers working for him? reading his NPR interview, I have a feeling he is full of shite when he claimed ” I sometimes allow a small number of writers to design manuscripts; then I rewrite the first drafts up to nine times till I’m happy with them.” I wouldn’t be suprised if he has Mexican writers skilled in English working in some writer’s sweatshop churning out dozens of his books? this is what’s wrong with America!

Patterson’s writing is lazy, sloppy and child like these days. Predictable formulas, and one book every 6-8 weeks. I gave up after cross country, it was so bad. My wife bought me don’t blink – it should have been called don’t bother. I’m thinking of suing the author – howard roughan – for the time I’ll never get back

James Patterson is one of my favorit writers. If he was on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best he would get a 20 in my book. Its because of him i want to be a writer my self.The maximum Ride novels are what relly grabed me i started reading it when i was 11 and is just now finding the books i need. One queston why did you have to make fang die.Hope you have more books out soon.

I found out about James Patterson after watching “Along Came a Spider”, with Morgan Freeman. I really enjoyed it, and it resulted in me reading the book, and then continuing with the series.

I’m glad that James has achieved such fantastic success, as his books are really enjoyable.

I have just finished reading Cat and Mouse and now about to start Pop Goes The Weasel. Kiss The Girls…well put it this way, i locked all doors and windows when reading that one! LOL! I love Alex Cross too! I think you can say i am hooked!!

The Patterson franchise is running out of steam. Like mentioned above, i now only read Alex cross novels but they have been lukewarm for some time and cross country was dire. the only solution is really to stop buying his books. we can moan all we like about declining quality etc but he’ll keep churning them out as long as people keep buying. My advice, don’t buy his books, maybe then he and his publishers will sit up and take note. The party is over for me, I wont buy or read anymore patterson books

yeah, some do that, and the results may be good, but his books are getting worse. usually i stick to a series, but i stopped reading his because theyre not genuine anymore and you can tell =D
