I've read it, yeah, same formula, but it was damn good! I don't really care, as long as I get entertained, then a book is GOOD.

The Truth

I gave him credit for being what he is: a successful mass market novelist.

As far as a writer, there isn't much to say. As far as an artist, there is absolutely nothing to say. He writes what he knows the general public wants to read. I would lump him together with Jerry Bruckheimer, someone else who panders to mass audiences.

Like I said, he is an incedibly effective mass market novelist. I would actually consider him more of a business man than a novelist.

You should try challenging yourself by reading some of those books english majors read. It can be incredibly rewarding. I think the problem is that when most people think of books that English Majors read, they think of Hawthorne, Austen, Henry James, etc. However, there are some immensely talented young authors that I think can really relate to much of America's youth if they are given the chance.
