Is he a good writer?

He's a ripoff Salinger who takes the actual relatability of Salinger and turns it into pseudofeminist "women are wonderful and I'm a piece of shit" trite. His works are neither funny nor provocative, not tragic nor empathetic. They just are.

But thanks for posting John, I was worried that you'd left us for a while

The thing Alaska did next scared and shocked and surprised me in a way nothing had ever ever scared or shocked or surprised me until that moment, a moment which lasted no longer than one sharp intake of breath but one I have no doubt will last my entire life. She said 'I love you'. Not 'You're cool' or 'I had a really fun time' or 'Do you always kiss like that?' I love you. As in 'I, Alaska Young, love you, Miles Halter'. As in 'I Alaska Young have not only noticed that you Miles Halter exist but I positively adore the fact that you do'. I exhaled. Alaska did too and for the first time I realized she was as scared as I was of admitting the way she felt. I stepped forward and held her hips. 'Are you sure?' I asked. 'I think so!' she replied, smiling. I must have pushed her backwards because just then her body nudged the lightswitch and the room became as dark as my life was without Alaska in it. Laughing, she slipped out of my grasp and disappeared somewhere inside the room. I reached out like a blind man searching for the object that might grant him sight. Truly, I was Looking for Alaska.

He relies on emotional cash ins, like killing off a character “tragically” in a car accident or giving protagonists cancer. He does this so he doesn’t have to actually write good characters that can be sympathized with
