I'm actually genuinely a fan of his prose. Very simplistic, it doesn't lie. He doesn't feel the need to be over-elaborate, he just tells it like it is. No pointless verbosity. It lends itself to approachable characters and accessible fiction. I think people get too hung up on the fact that it's not conventionally 'good' and doesn't conform to this idea of traditional thought-driven literature.
