About this product

Product Information

"It's quite a life, Patterson's, and this fizzing, funny, often deeply moving memoir is a perfect way to understand the dizzying world of a best-selling writer." -- Daily Mail "Damn near addictive. I loved it . . . that Patterson guy can write!" -Ron Howard THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER--How did a kid whose dad lived in the poorhouse become the most successful storyteller in the world? On the morning he was born, he nearly died. His dad grew up in the Pogey- the Newburgh, New York, poorhouse. He worked at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell. While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line "I'm a Toys 'R' Us Kid." He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party. He's only been in love twice. Both times are amazing. Dolly Parton once sang "Happy Birthday" to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James. How did a boy from small-town New York become the world's most successful writer? How does he do it? He has always wanted to write the kind of novel that would be read and reread so many times that the binding breaks and the book literally falls apart. As he says, "I'm still working on that one."

Reviews
" James Patterson by the raconteur himself is a tour de force that I recommend to everyone. One of the greatest storytellers of all time, Patterson has led an amazing life and has been stunningly successful on multiple fronts. It 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. You won't be able to put it down!"-- New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell, "As the author of more than two hundred novels James Patterson has shown considerable potential as a writer. He reveals how he is working on that potential in his memoir. He talks about how he writes, which is educational and reveals a lot of who he is: creative, funny, and odd. Plus the book is always entertaining. You will enjoy the read." -- Phil Knight, creator of Nike and author of Shoe Dog, "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. What at first appears to be a fun collection of reminiscences begins to reveal clues and insights into a highly productive life well lived. That Patterson guy can write!" -- Ron Howard

  • Authentically James Patterson

    This is REALLY a book about James, by James. I love his books, especially the Alex Cross series and Maximum Ride series, Womens Murder Club... etc But, I think since he collaberates with so many other authors, I think his writing gets lost. He even says in this book, he writes an outline and they take it from there.. that is kind of ingenuous as to him being the true author...I guess it has brought him more money and since his Name is first billing on books, probably how he is named world best selling author. Of Course with as many books that are churned out a year, this, with only 1 author would be impossible... This book is Pure James Patterson, funny and enjoyable, read it in 2 days
