James Patterson has become a publisher's dream- a writer who has no pretensions about his place in the literary world. He knows that he is a brand, and has adapted to that reality by basically creating a pulp fiction sweatshop. He comes up with an idea, and has a team of junior scribes who flesh out his outlines. Thus a James Patterson novel is just like any mass produced product- quick, cheap, familiar, and quality control gets a little sloppier with each new release.
