James Patterson by James Patterson is the most anticipated memoir of 2022. Review Quotes "I felt I was interviewing James Patterson under the highest permissible dose of sodium pentothal, the truth serum, for hours--and he spilled the whole story of his truly astonishing life and experiences and the absolute unlikelihood that he would become the best-selling fiction author of all time."-- Bob Woodward "James Patterson does it again. The master storyteller of our times takes us on a funny, poignant, and ultimately triumphant journey through his own life. If you are among the many millions of us who enjoy reading Patterson's books, or if you haven't discovered him yet, you'll love reading this one too."-- Hillary Rodham Clinton "One of the greatest storytellers of all time, Patterson has led an amazing life. James Patterson By James Patterson brings to mind Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. I love the pithy, bright anecdotes, and at times his poignant narrative will bring you to tears."-- New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell "The book was damn near addictive. I loved it. Patterson recounts turning points and life-shaping lessons in short, riveting bursts that inform, entertain, and satisfy--then propel you into the next story. That Patterson guy can write!" -- Ron Howard About the Author James Patterson is the world's bestselling author. The creator of Alex Cross, he has produced more enduring fictional heroes than any other novelist alive. He lives in Florida with his family.
