I also think he gets away with alot that other authors wouldn't simply because his books sell.
I love some of his books but his characters, especially the early ones, had too many characteristics in common.
They also all apeal to the sap in us. One thing I can give him though, you know what you're getting.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

But he's commercially successful, so I mean, good for him. But I'd rather re-format spreadsheets than read that drivel. It's like the reading equivalent of eating pre-sliced processed cheese in those little plastic wrappers: maybe it's good very, very rarely, and some people really like it, but it's probably not good for you and all tastes the same after a few bites.
