[Zombieness]

The only thing I can remotely use to describe him is 'Meh'. He's very creative, just read the plots on the back of some of his books and you'll be very intrigued, and has a lot of talent in descriptiveness and wit when writing.

The problem generally arises in key parts of his stories. Usually there's too much of this and a lack of that which flaws his writings. Endings can be his let down at times, or at least for me (seriously, What The Night Knows' ending was so out there. As in...out there). Plot holes and loose ends are also very common.

Don't get me wrong, he's still written a lot of very good stuff, but like Master said, 'I don't think he is as good as his sales numbers show'.
