Review title: How did this guy get a book contract?
Product review: I believe I might have read a James Patterson novel years ago, but I must have blocked out how bad it was out of self-protection. Well, I just checked out Mary Mary from the library and am appalled by how sub-par the writing is. And don't even get me started on the short chapters. Does Patterson have any attention span at all? I am no longer surprised by how he manages to crank out so many novels. Just limit the length of your sentences to no more than ten words and use as many cliches as possible, and viola!I managed to get only 40 pages into the book. After two murders and one painfully bad love scene, I just cannot continue. To quote Cross himself (at Chapter 11, the point at which I threw the book across the room), "This sucked in a way that broke new territory."
