I think my best novelist is John Grisham or Sidney Sheldon.

Ludlum, Forsythe, Agatha Christy, Stephen King, Michael Crichton - too many to mention. Masters of the game, the whole lot of them!

Don't call any novelist the best. you either say is interesting cos you're yet to read ten percent
of interested novels.
Any way, I dont have, since am yet to read all the interested novels.

too numerous to mention.as soon as i say that i meeen This writer is my best writer,i discover another one that completely wows me.thats probably cos i am always reading sha.

Rober Ludlum

Chinua Achebe

Alexandra Dumas!

"Best Author" depends on what interests you in a book. Note that I have read millions of books.

For me, the following authors take the lead.

Arthur Hailey - For thoroughly researched, educative and thrilling novels
Sydney Sheldon - his novels are captivating. "Sands of Time" is his best work.
Dan Brown - For controversial, radical books with religious undertones.
Buchi Emecheta - For African, feminine novels.
Enid Blyton - For Children's books
James Hardley Chase - Detective and Crime - though better suited for teenagers.
Danielle Steel - For Emotional, feminine novels
Stephen King - For horror.

I simply love novels; fiction, romance, crime etc. And i don't make comments on writers i don't know or have not read. So in my opinion, in no particular order the following writers are simply wow:

J. H. Chase ( for starters though but matured readers can still pick up to relieve stress)
Danielle Steel ( good writer)
Sidney Sheldon ( check out BLOODLINE and MASTER OF THE GAME)
John Grisham ( geez, wow, all the works for A TIME TO KILL and THE PARTNER)
Tom Clancy ( so good a writer)
Jackie Collins ( got past this stage in my high school but good all the same)
Fredick Forsyth ( if you haven't read any of his books, dnt call yourself a reader)
Jefrey Archer ( got past this stage too )
Robert Ludlum ( now, i am hooked.)
Ian Flemming
Higgins Clark ( it finishes too quickly for me but i love it anyhow)
Harold Robbins ( got past it too)
Mario Puzo ( wow wow, for matured minds- FOOLS DIE)
Mills & Booms ( read these only when i am short of what to read but my sis just love them)

Sphere ( I have to check this out, can some1 recomend which i should go for)

and all the others i can't remember on my feet just now.

And for African writers, i give it to Camara Laye, Elechi Amadi, Wole Soyinka, Fora Nwapa, Ngugi wa thiong 'o, Chinua Achebe( the master story teller), Cyprian Ekwensi ( the grand pa story teller). I must confess that i have been postponing reading Chimamanda's books 'cos i couldn't get to buy when i had the money, lol)
