I just read that Stephen King hates Patterson's writing:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Patterson" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Patterson</a>
"Horror novelist Stephen King has dismissed Patterson's bibliography as being made up of "dopey thrillers," and in one interview called him a "terrible writer""<p>I always find the opinions of a person's peers to be interesting.
