    I love James Patterson! He takes a plot and turns it into one of America's top five (Your number one!). To the Mystery and the Witty he has captured our hearts through his characters. :)

    I love James Patterson! He is my favorite author. My dream is to write along side him on a book one day. I love writing and hope to write books as great as his one day. Even if I never become well known or rich, it doesn't matter. I just want to produce books that can be loved by other's even if the number is small. Reading is so important to me and I love how much he tries to get younger audiences to start reading more!

    I want to become an active reader. But I have no books I'm interested in. I also want to read Charles Dickens so badly. I have no transportation and I'm homeschooled so I was thinking about getting a nook. I want to read all the classics! I also want to improve my vocabulary.

    SunnyPrincess owl for starters I wouldn’t recommend the classics right away as a kid I got into books by reading some of James Patterson’s book such as Daniel x also goosebumps by rl stine and the Percy Jackson series but I guess you’re a bit older than that age level so you should start on easier reads for you and try to find what interests you. Charles dickens is very interesting but can be a hard read for newer readers. At the moment I’m reading Don Quixote by Cervantes. Anyway point is try to find something for your age level and that’s interests you. This comment is 6 years old so I’m not sure if you ever got into books or not but I just wanted to help anyway. Happy reading!

    I love Patterson's Alex Cross series and have devoured each one like it was a big ball of cotton candy. I wish Mr. Patterson wrote faster. If you haven't guessed yet, I'm a voracious reader and I know there are others out there just like me. So for those "in between" times, I've found some other series that I've gobbled up: Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles MA Comley's The Justice Series Linda Prather's Jacody Ives Mysteries Steve Berry's Cotton Malone books Alex Kava's Maggie O'Donnell novels

    James pattersen inspires me. I may never write as many books as he has co-authored books, but my goal is to write at least fifty books before I die. In 3 years I have written ten books so far. It would be amazing if I could reach out to James Pattersen and that he may want to pick up my new book series! I am about finished writing the 3rd book in the series. Tonight I just finished one chapter having my characters swim with dolphins. I lived in Hawaii and swam with dolphins for many years so it is easy to write about them. ❤

    Readers should note the second name on the covers of his novels, which is the ACTUAL writer for his novels. He allows his name on the cover to sell them. Check out Writer's Digest interview with Patterson and read his actual confession that he hires other writers to write the novels.

    @DJBJN Well he did actually admit that the work relationship between random co-authors and himself is that they will generally write the first draft and then he'll rewrite it. I think James Patterson is a great writer and I'm working my way through his collective works a few books a month. But after I heard that, I couldn't help wondering how much he really did in some of his novels. If the idea, characters, plot, etc was his co-author's, then what was left for him?

If it was even a school day but I know I did not move from my bed just to use the Restroom. But did they even die Iggy Nudge Gazzy and did Max Fang Dylan and Angel die or did they live? So confused.

    @Chanelleml Generating an idea and being an "author" are completely different. There are many prolific authors out there who do not hire other writers. As an author/writer, I'd feel cheated to do all the work and have someone else take the credit for it.

    When did I ever say I worshiped him? I love his work and him as a human being. Yes he uses ghost writers, but the plots are his, he is simply better at creating plots than crafting the story. Without a plot you have no book. No matter how well you write, without a good story it's not worth anything or vice versa you have to be a good writer to tell a good story. It works both ways. Peter de Jonge was one of his ghost writers, until he got published.

    It's to bad Stephen King had to bash this guy (even if he may had been right). Sure he's not the most talented writer, but he's a good guy (and I guess a decent story teller). I don't care for his writing, but I got respect for him because he's a good guy, unlike Stephanie Meyer who seems to think the world worships her and even goes so far as to compare her writing to shakespeare.
