I don't know why this made me LOL. He has his name on so many books with other authors. I guess he just found a way to get his name on it twice.

The recursion grows so intense that when you listen all the way to the end, you become James Patterson.

Not to derail this post but the book just below the one featured in your photo - The Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris - is really freaking good. A little bit morbid but really really good.

We need a sequel to 'Being John Malkovich', but with James Patterson. Perhaps that will break the curse.

Quick side note: The Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris was solidly amazing. Even my kids liked the center photos. I would definitely recommend it if you’re into medical nonfiction.

My eyes still hurt from how hard I rolled them when this came across my desk some weeks ago.

Who does he think he is, Steinbeck? Saroyan? Faulkner?

Pretty sure they're spinning in their graves?

I don't understand why his new book get released on Mondays, but every other author in existence is released on a Tuesday.

Honestly, I read a bit of this when it came across my desk and it was entertaining. He's a pretty good writer when he writes his own stuff.

One of the worst authors of all times! That new book that came out with him and Micheal Crichton makes my skin crawl. What an offensive cash-grab joke. Patterson is a pitiful terrible clueless talentless author.
