Love Dan Brown, just finished The Da Vinci Code, looking forward to Angels and Demons. Love John Grisham read all of his.

Dan Brown- amuses me

Harlan Coben- don't think i have read him

James Patterson- absolute waste of trees

Stephenie Meyer- not a great wordsmith, but i'm enjoying the twilight series

John Grisham - have read a few - not one of my favs

Dan Brown tries hard to write a good book. He succeeds in writing an interesting, exciting story and fails in the writing.

Haven't read a thing by Harlan Coben.

I could go without reading another book by James Patterson.

Stephanie Meyer writes books for teenage girls - not my cup of tea. Not to mention, I began to read Twilight and Stephen was right... she isn't a great writer.

John Grisham is off and on with me. I hated A Painted House, and thought nearly everything he wrote in the last ten years was mediocre. His early stuff, Skipping Christmas, A Time to Kill (which is "early stuff", but worth mentioning) and his non-fiction book The Innocent Man were ranging from good to great with me.

I've stayed away from all of them except John Grisham. I read The Chamber (oh the follies of youth) but it wasn't terribly noteworthy in my opinion and I haven't gone back for seconds.

I've only read a couple of Grisham's books and that's it from the list. Grisham is an OK writer, but it's a "been-there-done-that" issue for me. Legal language and all that court room/lawyer stuff gets old for me after a while.

Dan Brown- to me, just cheap writing, don`t like it.

Harlan Coben- read ALL of his work, if you want a really good thriller ( as oppossed to Browns cheap thrills ) read " Tell no one " and " The Woods " - absolute heartstoppers.

James Patterson- the absolute worst in the bunch.

Stephanie Meyeer- see above comment for JP.

John Grisham- excellent writer, many books are really good.

Forgot to add:

Dennis Lehane and Ian Rankin beat all of those guys, IMO.
