James Patterson draws the reader immediately into each book. Of course, Patterson's style of writing follows an example format that compels the reader deeper into the story. The action and language gather momentum that forces the reader to gobble up the pages. Patterson's book center on action, not on analysis. I enjoy a break from description and commentary, and Patterson provides a pleasant reprieve. Gory killings and crazy killers litter the pages, but glimpses of world-famous cities populate the mad race to find the killers. Patterson's language remains simplistic and his characters confirm to various stereotypes, but Patterson's books make you wonder if the person you just met might be a killer.
