There's reason that he's one of the top paid authors in the world, and even though portions were a little bit out there in reasoning, I thought Target showed the reason why he's able to rope us all in and continue to keep us coming back, book after book.

They either love or hate his novels depending on the various partnerships with other authors. I definitely recommend you look into reading some where he is the sole author.

I'm a pretty eclectic reader so that presents some problems though. At one point in my life, I was on track to head to law school. During that time, I read everything John Grisham published. Now I haven't read one of his books in years! I have enjoyed some of Patterson's books in the past but like Grisham, it's been a while.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324184763890960825.post-7912269221104188842019-10-23T05:50:51.591-05:002019-10-23T05:50:51.591-05:00Sam is right; that is such a lovely tradition.

When i have ventured out of that pairing, it's been hit and miss I must admit.

That is really sweet. The most important things to me, when I read a book, is that I feel something and am entertained. Even with my changing tastes, I sometimes like slipping into something I used to really love, and the revisit is usually really enjoyable. I have only read one Patterson book, a YA romance, where they stole a lot of cars, which was ridiculous, but I was glued to the pages and cried quite a few tears. Glad you still enjoyed it.
