I like him, but for me, it’s Stephen King, a lot of his stories he goes off on a twenty page non-relevant rant.
Though, the ones where he keeps that to a minimum, are great.
Then there’s Mr. Marketer James Patterson who markets out his name to other authors making it look like he wrote the book when it was obviously someone else.
Unpopular opinion, but Salman Rushdie. He’s controversial. That’s all.
I tried to read The Satanic Verses when it was first published. I made it about a third of the way through and gave up. Maybe it was because I Was in still in high school, but I found it to be very boring.
