» shelfmonkey - Am I the only one who can't stand him?

Patterson's writing is lazy, sloppy, and worst of all, boring. I've read three Alex Cross novels, trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, but I just don't get it. The plots are unrealistic, but that's not a slam against it. However, Patterson never gets to a point where I can suspend my disbelief.

I haven't been this confused since people recommended The Da Vinci Code.
