"James Patterson" by James Patterson

book review by Riley Burnham 8/21/2023

quite good(!!) wow

hard to draw the line sometimes between 'how true/honest is this stuff??' & oh yea, he's being sincere & candid... general commentary here

this is actually the first i've read of Patterson's work [his memoir, lol], & it's piqued my interest to start some of his books & see what i think

in this particular work, James talks about playing golf w/ 3 former US presidents [H.W. Bush, Clinton, Trump...] & being the most-selling author in the world [wow!!!!!]

he does collaborative projects w/ others, such as books co-written w/ B. Clinton, D. Parton, & others...

​​​​​​​mostly, here, we get process -- a little taste of how Patterson puts pencil to paper & goes about creating his literary creations -- he emphasizes OUTLINE, which can be a takeaway here

​​​​​​​i really liked his surprise-true stories [like lifting a muscle car from a fair for a jaunt] & plenty more
