How did you create this list of best novels?
We researched the top of James Patterson's lists online and averaged their responses (regardless of series like Alex Cross, Women Murder Club/ Murder Club series, etc...).
Why can't I add any of these to a shopping cart?
Our number one rule is "never try to out-Bezos Bezos", so we don't do anything Amazon already does a great job at and works well. This is why we don't have famous features like adding an order to a shopping cart, a buy button, finding a novel in paperback, hardcover, or audible audiobooks (and all the ways in which you can read James Patterson) etc... Thankfully though, these are all things you'll find when you click on the "View on Amazon" button :) We focus specifically on building an awesome list of James Patterson books and showing the accurate published date.
