Bill Clinton writes novel with James Patterson

[Brian G Turner]

James Patterson's "co-authors" are getting a little more famous of late:

Sounds intriguing!

"Working on a book about a sitting president - drawing on what I know about the job, life in the White House, and the way Washington works - has been a lot of fun,"

Really? Presumably Clinton thinks 'irony' means 'looking like iron'...

I've read two books by authors "with" Patterson.

One was awful from beginning to end; the other wasn't too bad. Neither, however, showed anything in the style of Patterson. The man's just getting paid to put his name on a book.

That said, I'm looking forward to this one. The man is imminently qualified to write this particular story - now to see if he can actually write fiction.

You've go be kidding !

I might have to read this one.

I can honestly say I have less than 0 interest in this. I read one James Patterson book and it was just awful. I don't understand how he could be popular at all.

So the most corporate, money-focused author in the world teams up with the most corporate, money-focused politician in the world. Forgive me for being just a tad cynical, but I don't think these two are teaming up for artistic reasons.

Wait for Clinton's press conference in a couple of years: "I did not write a novel with that author."

But hey! At least most dust covers are wipe clean.

I hope this starts a trend. I'm looking forward to 50 Shades of Orange.
