I agree too, his novels have always struck me as too similar (in terms of the style of writing) to Amis' worst novels: sometimes it's literally impossible to understand what is going on, without re-reading, as everything is layered in periphrasis and nothing is said directly. Also, like Amis, he annoys me when he tries to be casually shocking (i.e., 'cunt' said all the time, misogyny).
I wish he'd just write the way that he speaks because he's very entertaining, as that clip proves.
