Why he might be annoying:

    His last name is a bitch to spell and it is not obvious how to pronounce it. ('SHESSH-kuh')
    He said, 'I really don't like to do sequels,' which seems odd coming from an author of multiple book series.
    He said his favorite joke is 'What's brown and sticky?' (Answer: 'A stick')

Why he might not be annoying:

    He founded Guys Read, a web-based literacy program for boys.
    He was named the first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature by the Library of Congress (2008).
    He said he writes because he 'loves to make kids laugh.'
    NPR described his books as 'an antidote to the dusty titles that populate summer reading lists.'
