I'm trying to understand in lengthy detail to what ends you can justify him wasting his run time to be "ballsy" and seemingly (from your shown POV on the subject) good at his job simply because he got a response. To me, this basis on judging the worthiness of reading a book (and lets face it, your "lack of apathy" angle is a two way street for percieved quality--Yes quality--Of the book) just because it got any response facilitates further motivation for constant outrageous storylines simply because they're outrageous.

Now you say that you're stated perception of what he did and how good he did it are separate, but from what you say, it just seems inter-related is all. But if this wasn't your intention, I'll just stop now.
