I am not a fan of his. I have heard the plot outline of the famous or infamous book, and while it doesn't make sense from Islamic viewpoint (obviously, a "prophet from God" getting two verses from Satan), it also doesn't make sense from a Christian one (everything except just two verses being "from God").
I am also not a fan how he has been running literature classes as a way to desensitise Christian students to some pet peeves, notably against pornography.
But one thing he got right:

In the recent process for the Paris attack trial, one lawyer of survivors or victim relatives or both was asking one shooter what his motives were, she got the same response, somewhat demoted, France has done "crackdowns" more on civic freedoms (like parental education) than on lives and some guys in the courtroom didn't want to hear him say that and didn't want to allow her to pose that question.
Please note, she was not a lawyer of the shooter, she was trying to help those whom she represented to understand what had hit them./HGL
