There is just something about the writing of van Vogt. It has a horrible
style and plots that do not logically follow: yet his books work.  Some SF
critic (I think it was either Knight or Delany) said that problem any SF
critic needs to solve was not showing what was wrong with van Vogt"s style
(any bright high school student could do that) but figuring out why it
worked.
