I didn't notice grammar or spelling problems (I think he does have at least a copyeditor). I think his characters are strong enough that they pull people in around some of the little things he doesn't finesse. And mind you, he probably picked a few things that were pet peeves of mine when it comes to conventions.
We all have different pet peeves and expectations and that can make a huge difference when turning pages or stopping. (And again, I'm not talking grammar or spelling with his stuff.)
