In writing, plot and character are everything -- and sketching out a character with words is an art unto itself. I disagree that his delivery is pedestrian, as well -- there are moments when his writing is perfectly electric with energy.
I think he's considered pulp because he writes two or three books a year, and sells them by the boatload.
