james patterson 'writes' the dumbest books on the shelf..which is why i never buy any books on the so-callled 'best seller; list....the 'best selller 'list does not mean it is the 'best'book.....it means the publisher has paid big bucks to have it listed....neither patterson or clancy 'write'the boks that bear their name.....they hire ghost writers...who use their files to churn out the pages of crap.

How the heck to people read James Patterson. I left the Alex cross serise after Cat and Mouse thinking that it little to much. Patterson does not even write is novels and Tom Clancy is following suit.

Literature continues to go down hill for the masses
