Saying he can’t write worth a damn is an objectively false statement. His works are studied and loved by the literary vanguard around the world.

You didn’t like the book? Fine, but attacking his capabilities as a writer is ridiculous. He’s one of the greatest authors in a generation.

Im not the only person with that opinion. Its a subjective thing. In my opinion his writing is amatuerish. Reminds me of stuff I would write trying to shock people in middle school.

Also Id like to clarify I am basing my opinion solely on the one book of his ive tried to read- child of god
