I am a huge fan of James Patterson books... especially the Alex Cross series. I am reading the 6th Target right now which is part of the Women's Murder Club series. He is awesome. Does anyone else agree?

ME ME ME!!!
Omg, the first book of his I ever read was Kiss the Girls and I could literally not put the darn thing down. I started it at work (shhh dont tell the boss) and I drove slowly on the way home just to hit the stop lights so I could keep reading. I didnt stop until I finished it, because it was that darn good!
He is fantastic. I love his writing style and how he totally pulls you into the story.

For a bonstermonster he's awesome, I only like him with the Alex Cross series. I've bought a couple of paperbacks and already read a couple from the library... even hit upon the one regarding his (first/only?) wife, a good emotional read, with the ensuing hunt (also followed through to a book or two, as I recall) being quite the ticket for action.
I like the way he 'profiles' as Alex Cross, then Patterson shows us everything from the criminal's view, usually a twisted one... it's interesting. I can't say I have an insatiable appetite or am even a huge fan but now I'd like to watch a few movies from the books; and read a few more Cross books!
EDIT: Wizjp, Did he really? & How do you know folks are helping? At any rate, the books begin already to feel formulaic, but many are and I have yet to change my view, though I wonder about what you said!

I love his writing, I just finished the 6th Target, a few weeks ago. I can't wait for the next Alex Cross book. Have you read Quickie?

Yes, i couldn't agree more!! I haven't checked out the alex cross series yet, but i do recommend reading "when the wind blows" and the sequel "the lake house" I couldn't put either of them down. Also the beach house, and lifeguard are page turners as well.

Used to be a fan; gave him up when he made Cross's best friend the FBI ageent a serial killer, shrunk the actual number of pages written to about 150 in a book and hired people to help him write. Pure cash cow.
People are helping as they have their names on books with him.

He's like potato chips. Once you read one you can't stop.

I personally can't understand what's so great about his books but my sister-in-law adores them.
