You know, alot of people rank on "best sellers" in this forum. About how they aren't very deep etc. But, books by patterson, grishim, clancy, and yes JK Rowling are page turners, almost every word advances the story or the characters.
For example, in goodkinds Sword of Truth books at the end of the last one Richard gives a speach that seems to go on about 20 pages which rehashes alot of the preachy and philisopical stuff that ran through the whole series. This is the kind of stuff that looses most readers. We are all used to the web, email, im, instant gratification.
Anyway... nuff said.
