   Good
   It was a good read but not what I expected. I thought I would get more writing advice.

   Autobiography of a many genre author
   A standalone autobiography of a prolific murder mystery, fantasy, comedy, teen, children, romance, science fiction, memoir, and non-fiction author. I read the well printed and well bound hardback published by Little, Brown in 2022 that I gave to my mother that she passed back to me after reading. I hope that there will be a sequel some day. After all, there are now thirty-three of his Alex Cross books alone of out of his around two hundred novels and novellas published to date.If you are interested in one of the most prolific authors ever, you need to read this book. He not only talks about his life and accomplishments but talks in detail about his writing style and methods and about his co-authors that he uses extensively. He has sold over 425 million books as of 2022 which puts him right behind J. K. Rowling. He notes that he works on 30 to 35 books simultaneously in separate notebooks, all written in longhand using a #2 pencil. The only thing that his autobiography is missing is his life pictures.I plan to reread one of the author’s science fiction books next, “When The Wind Blows”, about extreme DNA modification.

   Nice sneak peek
   As an avid reader and life-long James Patterson follower, this is a clever and informative look inside …. and a perfect amount of funny. Agreed, one of his best!

   I read his ‘The President is Missing’ coauthored with Bill Clinton and found it a great book. Patterson’s stuff I have read since, including this one, hasn’t been too enthralling! Pity he can’t write like Stephen King, and I prefer Patterson’s subject matter!

   I have been reading James Patterson books for as long as I can remember. In fact, his Alex Cross books are some of the first grown up books that I remember reading. Needless to say, I am a big fan and I urge every crime book lover to read his books. When I heard that this book was coming out I just had to read it. It is always fascinating to learn more about the people that you admire, and James has had a very interesting life.This is a book of stories, in not particular order really. He jumps around his life, telling stories of what he has done, people he has met and how he became the world best selling writer. I enjoyed reading about his time as an advertising executive, his school days, his experience at Woodstock and his lack of confidence at becoming a fiction writer. He talks about his friendship with former President, Bill Clinton and their writing collaboration. It was written in his usual conversational style, with short chapters which makes it a very fast read – just like his fiction novels.This is a must read for fans of the great man’s books. Absolutely recommend. All the stars
