Quantity is great combined with quality, but a hefty tome that could have been edited, but sadly wasn’t, much to the reader’s chagrin, is totally and utterly unnecessarily wordy.
Short punchy sentences, or at least succinct prose, should suffice.
Whether it’s a Grisham legal yarn or Karl Ove Knausgård’s autobiographical opus, take pity on readers who have to carry these bricks around and plough through the verbiage.
