I've no idea what the reason is. When I was checking stuff out about this issue, it became very clear that he's a polarizing topic. Some very loyal fans and some very rabid detractors. There was an entire thread on a forum basically making fun of his writing.
I've never read him, never really thought about it, so I had no idea until now. I mean, a lot of authors have a similar fan / anti-fan base, but in his case, both seem particularly vicious.
