Managed to never read a Patterson book, but after reading this ... I'm appalled at his collaboration method. *boggle*

"Hm, I don't really have time to write this, would you mind awfully doing it for me? And then I'll rake over what you write to make it 'mine,' and you'll have your name on a cover with a best-selling author!"
