That's right, he's not. He's the next tier down, in terms of sales -- reliably hits the NYT best-sellers list, over and over, but hasn't ever (to my knowledge) had a #1 best-seller. So he's in the top 1/10 of 1% of published authors by sales, but not in the category of the authors you mention. He's a "star," but not a "super-star" or "super-duper-hyper-star" (can you say "Stephen King"?).
