Methinks the lady doth protest too much.There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Interesting assessment. My reaction to reading the book (eons past) was I liked the story for it's entertainment value, that would seem to dampen your diametrically opposed "observation" with no "in between". As for any dissection of a writer and or that writers work, the inclination of each individual involved in such an endeavor reads heavily on the apprehension of said writer and or work. As an example your interjection of the final paragraph in your post is presumptuous at best, seemingly predicated upon illiberality.
Sorry about the long words. Which of them are a problem?
Sense of irony broken?
