Dunno. "Bad" might not be the word I'd use, but he has a thick slow style that can be a drag to try to wade through if it's not what you want that day.
It's not for everyone, and that's not because everyone who doesn't enjoy it is stupid, and I feel that it
is condescending to imply that. Similar arguments can be had about Faulkner, Joyce, Proust, Pynchon, DeLillo, and (I guess!) DFW just off the top of my head.
I think people do way too much continuing to read books they aren't enjoying thinking that it's somehow intelligent or cultured to press on.
