Frenchfag here.
Even though I'm acquainted pretty well with Anglo-Saxon literature, I just discovered James Patterson's existence.

What is /lit/'s certified seal on this guy? Worth reading? Bad writer?
And if I only had time to read one of his books, which one would be the best to read?

Thanks /lit/-friends!

He's one of the most important English language novelists of our time; his insights into legal philosophy occasionally surpass Kafka's. Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports is widely considered his opus, but that might be too heady for a novice. Start with his Alex Cross series, maybe Along Came a Spider.
