I made the mistake of getting an audiobook of James Patterson’s when we went on a car trip because I figured it would be light reading and DH might be OK with it, and frankly there was a limited number of choices on the shelf the day I ran in to get something for our vacation.
It became laughable listening to it because the narrator kept repeating the same thing throughout the book. I mean he would recap the plot at intervals. It’s not as though it was a complicated plot to begin with. I just made fun of it after a while because not only does Patterson write an uninteristing book, out of his only 182 pages, 25% of it is rewriting the same thing.
Still, there are occasional titles of best selling drek that strike me. I remember that Bridges of Madison County absolutely gutted me. I still tear up thinking about that ending.
I read one Patterson book many years ago, and I was so unimpressed that it was my first and last, and I've since been surprised to see how successful he is.
