-He's okay. He's not the best writer out there but he creates solid, engaging stories. I don't think he's particularly original, and he's certainly laughed all the way to the bank, so I respect his drive to produce. I hear he's a nice guy.

I read a LOT of Patterson....When I saw the thread title, I didnt know exactly how to respond....then I read Lily's answer and laughed: This NAILED it -- I couldn't have said this better!
With all this said, I still enjoy reading his books. They are entertaining and rise ever so slightly above mediocrity to keep me engaged
