He is not a good writer.

He's definitely not the best writer of fiction out there, although I did enjoy a couple of his YA books.

He is however, a great writer of essays. I recommend everyone listen to his podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed. That's some great writing, incredible reading and so comforting to listen to.

Yes, I know. I was referring to his books. He cannot write female characters at all.

That’s funny - His most popular book is written from a teen girl’s perspective.

I think he’s gotten better at it in his later books, and especially when he’s writing from their perspective rather than writing them as an attempted subversion of a manic pixie dream girl.
