Description

“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.
  • Growing up, he didn’t love to read. That changed.
  • 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.
  • Three American presidents have invited him to golf with them.

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.”

Ce que les critiques en disent

“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 best-selling 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)

“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)

Loved it.

James Patterson got me reading. To this day I read more nonfiction, but when I need a good story, any James Patterson creation will do. So great to hear his voice and life out look. As a kid i wanted to be a writer, James Patterson shows you that if you just work hard for your whole life. It can happen. Thanks Jim.

Fun reading

Hearing James Patterson telling us about his life was unbelievably relaxing. I expected excellent stories and he didn’t disappoint. I also enjoyed hearing about parts of his life I didn’t know and being as masterful, as he is, I could visualize his life and the ups and downs through the decades as though I were with him.
I loved the trip I was taken on and hope that others will enjoy this light and self-deprecating adventure that James (yes, I feel like a friend now) will take you on.
