My Take
Brad Meltzer impresses me with sheer range. A Brooklyn-born, University of Michigan grad who built a name on political and legal thrillers, he also wrote landmark DC comics like Identity Crisis and a whole series of short biographies meant to give kids courage. Writing taut conspiracy fiction and warm children's books with the same hand is rarer than it sounds. There's an Aries-like drive in the way he barrels across genres, refusing to be boxed in. I have a soft spot for writers greedy enough to do entertainment and education at once. The fact that his work spans every reader's age tells you how deep his curiosity runs.
