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.

    I second your Stephen King. For the exact same reasons. Yeah, there’s moments of brilliant writing, but then there’s long winded nonsense that takes away from it.

      This is why I like his short stories. WAY better than the novels, IMO. Also his non-fiction book On Writing was amazing.
