London Fields, Other People, Time's Arrow and Night Train are pretty good. He wrote some really inspirationally-good prose in these books, but sometimes neglects his storylines.
His recent stuff has been pretty bad. For me, The Information was the turning point.
He's always been unapologetic about his opinions and seemed to enjoy holding points-of-view that went against the general consensus. Sadly, this seemed more important to him than actually promoting a considered perspective.
This particular statement is typically brainless. There are some stunning books in both children's and young adults' literature. It's his problem if he hasn't read past certain authors who are the equivalent of Dan Brown to 'adult' literature.
