Have you ever tried reading a James Patterson book? They’re barely readable imo.

That and I’m not sure he’s even alive any more. I think it’s a brand name used to help people like you, me, and even MrBeast publish.

    Nah, he's still kicking, I see him going around flogging the books his slaves write.

    I read a couple of his own books years ago, and they were awful. The only reason I read two was because the first one was so bad, I thought it had to be an outlier. Turns out, No.

    The upside of his new plantation publishing strategy, is that perhaps his writing slaves are better writers than he is. I wouldn't know, I don't care enough to bother to find out.

    I think I remember reading one, enjoying it, then picking up another book he "wrote" because of that. It was so bad I barely got through the first couple chapters. Was very obvious the 2 books were written by different authors

    James Patterson is a hack. Now he has other hacks write the books, and slaps his name above theirs. The most disgusting literary development in history.
