In response to Am I the only one who can't stand him? posted by shelfmonkey:


Patterson says on his website that he has cultivated his short chapters "mystery light" style on purpose so that readers who might shun a book with longer chapters will pick up his novels.

That this strategy has been so successful for him does not say a lot for the American reading public.

I agree. What's next: picture book mysteries?
