James Patterson


"Other than my hundreds of arrests I really don't have that much experience with the law. While the majority of people aren't corrupt, there certainly is an awful lot of corruption in this country."



Hello again readers (if you're still out there).  I realized that it had been about six months since I posted anything on my Culture Corner blog, so I decided to revive my old idea and write about one of my recent discoveries, author James Patterson.  Mr. Patterson is mostly a writer of thriller/crime novels, which are some of my favorites to read.  He is best known for such titles as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls, both of which were adapted for the big screen.  He is also the author of the best selling young adult series Witch & Wizard.  He has a very direct writing style that is super easy to read and wonderful to get sucked into.  His characters are likeable, but there is a sense of grittiness about them at the same time that makes them believable as real human beings.  His books are usually fast reads, but it's pretty much as good as watching a good old crime drama on TV and they are easily found in most libraries and bookstores.  So if you're looking for some mystery, intrigue and books that will make the time fly by, check out some of his work.  Stay tuned and stay cultured!
