It depends. Some people can't stand his style.
I find
Cormyr: A Novel and
City of Splendour both excellent. Of course, he co-wrote them both with good authors.
Death of the Dragon is good too. His short stories I find good also, genereally.
I'll freely admit that the conflict between what he wants to write and what he's asked to write harms his writing immensely, but in
Cormyr, for example, he managed to fit in an astonishing amount of 'useless' background information. As a matter of fact, I consider that book the single best RPG novel purchase I've made.
