For me there a couple of things that stand out on him:

* A builder of great narratives. His best books typically go through several little stories with a common unifying theme.

* A sharp builder of catchy phrases. This works much better in Spanish, he was a master of rhythm, but you can get in English too.

* A builder of great images. It is impossible to make a decent movie of the scenes he describes. It would be like dissecting an hummingbird.
