Really getting into his stuff

Currently reading "the 5 greatest warriors".

His books should be made into films

I used to like The Hardy Boys books as a kid. Matthew Reilly was after my time.

i don't mind his stuff, its just its clear he is aiming for a movie deal rather than writing a book

Hes had some of his books' film rights bought by companies but the movies never get made.

hardly surprising i guess, I have to say his major characters are really not memorable.

As long as they pay him for the rights I don't suppose he is worried whether they actually make the film or not.

I'm a massive Matthew Reilly fan, even met him a few times and discussed writing. He says a few times in the interviews (back of the book, really interesting to read actually) that his writing style is that of a movie scene. So rather than paragraph by paragraph, chapter by chapter, he sets his books out as if you were watching a movie, with each "spurt" of text is a new scene...

I hate his guts.

sad to hear about his wife today
his writing is pitched at a teenage audience and I admire that because it is hard to get young boys to read but he has been quite successful/prolific... even as a 35 year old I can still enjoy that type of book and appreciate the fast paced tempo (albeit with zero character development) that makes it an enjoyable read

Is that a reaction to his writing or have you met him and found him disagreeable ?
