You can make fun of his over the top language, but his plots hang together, the characters have understandable motivations, the pacing keeps you interested and he wraps everything up before you get fed up with him. All good things in a writer.

For me, my love-it-even-though-it's-crap book is the Dresden Files series. The first ones were absolutely horrific and almost robotically written -- I only perservered reading the series because of pressure from some friends. Then there was a period where the authour, Jim Butcher, learned his craft and was cranking out decently entertaining novels. Now lately, he has trouble dealing with the problems of long-running series.

But I still want to find out what happens
