My daughter's favorite Christmas present every year was (and still is) a book basket. I fill the basket with books she has asked for, and some I have found on my own. Then on Christmas morning, she would annoy the heck out of her father by reading the back of each book out loud to let us all know what each book was about! She is 31 and still does it. She LOVES to read!
"Millions of readers love my books, and can't wait for the next one." Well, that's good considering they only have to wait another hour for the next book! 😆

He's the man that got me into books! Amazing writer! Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas is by far my best book that I have ever read by him & my first as well!
I really hope that Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, is put on the big screen. It was one of the first books I had read by him and so far, the series is one of my all time favorites!
People love my books,and can't wait for the next one. Well, fans don't have to; James Patterson publishes a new one every hour lol.
Just read my first Patterson book, "Jack and Jill" and I can see the appeal. Use of the vernacular, alternating quick and slower pace (but overall fast), clear characters that you get to root for or against, and short, cinematic chapters (to name a few). Looking forward to sampling more.
I hate to read, but when it comes to your book I love to read. You changed my life in reading.
One of my favorite authors.
has anyone else read Witch and Wizard?? I hope this series come out on the big screen! Such a great series
WorldWide RemiX me too
I have! I’m waiting for the first series because I have the last series and I don’t want to read the fourth series because it’s called “The Kiss” and ummm......yeah....not happening
The Maximum Ride series is probably my favorite series by James Patterson. Read every one except the last one. I think the reason why I like the series is because it's easy to read and really creates a picture in my head.
I love you James Patterson!
*Jimmy Patterson.. I am just a small Tween when I am watching this, and I love James Patterson's book. I can't put them down. I've read three of his books this school year, I Even Funniest, I Funny (School of Laughs), and Laugh Out Loud. I just finished I Funny, and now I am so sad because I have to wait until Christmas to get a ton of your books. About 8. My friend is giving me a book she has read from James Patterson that she has found. And what did I say to my mom earlier? "Please give me another Book!"
I was in love to your books but l just can't find the rest of your books.
he writes best sellers like if it was something easy like changing shirt.
What an amazing mind. Great writer. James Patterson, you saved me. I was never a book person until I've read 'Cat and Mouse'. It changed the way I thought about reading forever. Then I read 'The Lake House'. Wow, you really know how to make book reading sensational!
Jake Sibley A big difference.
Thank you for the video

Great
Maximum ride and witch and wizard coming to treaters for a movie :,) James Patterson my day just got 20 times better
Agree!!!
:') Beautiful... I love witch and wizard and maximum ride! But he inspires me, and I want to be just like him
Did you write anything?❤
I love Steven King but I gotta give credit to JP. And was his son with him when he was showing the web page? If he is, he's really cute :)
he's a genius
I'm confused, in multiple other interviews, he has said that his first book was rejected 31 times, now he is saying it's 37?
Who cares it was alot of Times.
When I was 11 years old, I was beaten to death by a pack of neighbors in my neighborhood. This is my story.
sooo... when will maximum ride movie will came out?
i hope so
I hope!!!
Shirley, you jest. Ian Fleming and Stephen King lead the way on books made into movies.
I can't read his books. They are so boring. I've tried several and always have to put them down. Maybe one day I'll see the appeal (it has happened before with other authors). Can any James Patterson fans explain what it is they like about his work? Specifics would be great.
Hello. I recently started reading Along Came A Spider and what I enjoy about it is that every detail of the scenes mentioned is important to the story and that there are no unnecessary descriptions.
In addition, the chapters are short and they always drive the story forward.
The plot and the writing have one goal and that is to make you addicted reading and keep you getting back for more. How does he do that? Well, he worked as a copywriter in an advertising agency.
James is not a wordsmith, but he's a very good storyteller.
Have you read Follow you home by Mark Edwards? I highly recommend it. It's one of the best books I've ever read.
I love NYPD Red because it’s exciting and witty and the characters are easy to connect with
That is true, most of his books have co-writers. Not to be rude, but is there any proof whether or not he has a ghost-writer, because if here isn't any proof. then almost any comment like yours and other peoples comments are considered invalid.
MAXIMUM RIDE RULES!!!!!! :D
I like black Friday damn good book
hi james patterson :)
im a very huge fan of yours, i got all of your alex cross series, its my treasure, hoping you would visit Philippines soon for a book signing or fans day, i would love that :) thank you :)
Maximum Ride Movie = My life is complete.
James Patterson your book invisible was awesome and you should turn that into a movie
I love middle school
HIS BOOK CRADLE AND ALL WAS GREAT!!!!! missing the bird kids
Judging from the quality of his writing, his success is undeserved.
Don't know who I am going to read after he stops...
James Patterson: "Books for people who don't really like to read but love to be able to say they have read, much as fruity cocktails are for people who don't really like to drink but love to get knee-walking drunk."
The end of never more in the maximum ride series didn't make me happy!!!
IF IM NOT HAPPY BY THE END OF THE PAGE THE PAGE GETS SCRAPED...........
waowwwwwwww!!!!!!!
this is exactly what's wrong with society. doucehbags with user names like NinjaSperm judging a successful artist like James Patterson. Whether you like him or not you can't deny his creativity and how he keeps people interested in reading
Several million people disagree. Besides your comment doesn't pass the logic test. This is not a situation where some other party is giving him credit where none is due, this is millions of readers buying his books. I don't see how that can possibly be "undeserved". You may not like his writing. I don't like E.L. James' writing, I think it's crap, but any success she's earned is deserved because lots and lots of people buy her books.
I hate those 37 publishers
and his english teacher
I'm glad he didn't give up on writting
james ur #1 Author in the world!!!!XDXDXDXD

You Rick roidan, Suzanne Collins, and j.k Rowling need to right a book together.
lo
I stand corrected. Reading his dopey thrillers also don't have to pass the logic test.
james patterson collaborate with rick riordan
Good morning, I'm james patterson and I'd like to talk to you about diabetes.
If you want to get your kids to read novels, introduce them to wuxia novels.
Creativity? Where? He collaborates with other writers. What is the percentage of his input in those books? It's easy to judge ordinary people like me as "douchebags", but it's not okay to criticize famous people like Patterson? Tell me again what's wrong with society.
One last thing, I'll say it clearly, so you understand: HE DOES NOT WRITE HIS OWN BOOKS.
A $700 million net worth tells me James Patterson is someone to listen to
Patterson is a hack. He must have a huge research staff. Patteron's characters are cliches, the plots grandiose creations that he has no idea how to flesh out.
@Kat Wen : I've read his stuff. No great shakes. Now Stephen King, Lee Child, Michael Connelly...that's a different story.
Want. To. Order. One. Or. Two. Of. Women s. Murder. Club. Series.just. Finished. First. To. Die. Of. That. Series. Good vqhodunit.
Is this guy a jew? He sounds like a jew,
He looks like a jew but he's surname is northern english
his Co-Authors seem to do MOST of the work! That's not a good writer to me....
