He’s just a really entertaining writer who puts out fast-paced books that contain interesting scientific concepts explained clearly. So based.

like stephen king, he got lucky to write in a time where a guy with a high school education in the US could get the full support of a publishing/advertising/multimedia/distribution network would shill the everloving fuck out of his books and he could become a millionaire doing something that the average cunt on /lit/ does for free. massive boomer energy. books were decent airport fare.

initially based, then cringe hack, then strangely based for the whole inserting his critic as a child rapist but tempered because he was still a hack

I remember the original Jurassic Park novel being thrilling, enjoyable, pacy and only descriptive enough to give you a good sense of place, as in the section about the Pterodactyl dome. Based.

ptero dome is also what I remember the most, based
