I have been a huge James Patterson fan for many years. I am currently reading Private Games. I think that the speed in which the books are coming out is starting to impact the quality of the editing. I am just under halfway through and I have found several glaring editorial errors. Such as Knight’s bruised ribs changed from the left side to the right side within several pages. Also, the Olympic flame made its way from “Britain to Greece” instead of the other way around! There are a couple more but with each error I find the more upset I’m getting. This is not the quality of a James Patterson book. The audience appreciates how hard you work and we are always holding our collective breaths for the next in a series. But if it means that errors like this appear we would rather you take your time with the editing prior to release.
