I still hate my teachers in secondary school for forcing me to read his books.

I have no idea why people think he's so great, imo his books are a big pile of crap.

When I was in VWO 6, the main book of my final literary exam was De Aanslag. I really enjoyed reading that book and I find the death of Harry Mulisch a great loss for the literary world.

They made me read siegfried D:
The book wasn't really in my taste, but I could tell the writer was not an idiot :P. it's just too philosophical for my taste.

Either way, he's still a 1000x better than just about any other dutch novel writer I know. that's why I've plainly given up on dutch literature and switched to English.
