Great or overrated?

He is overrated then underrated then overrated and finally underrated. A Time For Everything was a little meh but I thought the thesis/punchline of the book was interesting. My Struggle, however, is a masterpiece. The prose is so simple and the content is so supposedly banal yet despite this it is subtly one of the best if not THE best work of literature in the 21st century. I don't know how he did it, again, the writing is fairly plain and simple and it's about a guy's day to day life so you'd think it be boring but there's a kind of power in it. I really really do not know how he did it but he really did

Interesting. I want to read My Struggle now. I always avoided it because it seemed like it was just some guy's normie life. We'll see.
