James Patterson is my FAVORITE author. He was born on March 22, 1947 in the United States. He is well known for his mystery books. He published his first novel in 1976 called "The Thomas Berryman Number." The novels featuring his character Alex Cross, a forensic psychologist, are his most popular and the top selling U.S. detective series in the past ten years. He holds The New York Times record for most bestselling hardcover fiction titles by a single author, a total of 76, which is a Guinness World Record.
His work is amazing. I have read at least a dozen of his books. He is able to keep the suspense going throughout the entire book. He drops hints as to who the murderer is but the ending always catches you by surprise. I'm one of those readers that does not believe in reading a book twice but his books have tempted me to do so multiple times. He has the type of writing in which you find something new every time you reread it.
One of my favorite books he has published is "Confessions of A Murder Suspect". A teenage female is accused of the murder of both her parents. The content of the book was amazing. The story line kept you intrigued and hooked through the entire reading and the plot was an unexpected twist. However, what I found most appealing about it was how he was able to portray the main character. It was obvious he was able to put himself in her predicament when writing. While reading you could feel the confusion and aggravation she felt for being wrongly convicted, her emotions were nakedly laid out on the pages before you. It takes a great writer to be able to make fiction feel so realistic.
I have only seen movies based on his books. I haven't read an of his books. Have you read them all?
