The Big Bad Wolf

So far in The Big Bad Wolf I have noticed a lot about James Patterson's writing style that is different from other authors I have read. He does not use very many descriptions of places or people, he rarely goes in to deep detail on physical looks. He also has very short chapters, like 1-3 pages as a maximum. So far the shorter the chapter the more intense it is, it seems like he uses these chapters as a way to keep the reader interested and always on edge because of the constant cliff hangers. He also uses the short chapters as a way to change the point of view from one character to another, they sometimes describe the same event.
