How does /lit/ feel about Khaled Hosseini?

>>	Anonymous Sun Feb 6 15:42:02 2011 No.1527931 He wrote the same book twice. One attempt was so-so, one attempt was breath-taking.

He's a talented writer. His books are light, paced nicely, and enjoyable. I feel like he has a false reputation for depicting modern Afghanistan, though. He specifically said he didn't write for that purpose, and the books hardly do that. Nevertheless, they're worth a read - though /lit/ has flamed the hell out of him in the past.
