Upfront, I've never read any of his books and I probably won't.
Like Dan Brown, Stephen King, Stephenie Meyer, etc. He's been panned for poor writing, lol. I love it when authors criticize other authors, lol. Stephen King has criticized Patterson and even called him a "bad writer." Patterson gets criticized a lot for having bad plots and characters, along with atrocious fiction writing.
So, my question to you, only those who have read Patterson books, what do you think of him as a writer? Also, what do you think of his constant use of co-writers? He also gets criticized for that, and many people don't even think he writes his books.
Has anyone read books earlier in his career? If so, how does the writing earlier in his career (Along Came a Spider, for example) compare to his most recent novels with co-writers? Is the style still the same?
Patterson fun facts: He's the best selling author of this decade and over the last few years has outsold Dan Brown and Stephen King put together.
