While I haven't personally read the work in question, I remember enough about school book selections to observe that you should not rule out the possibility that the real source of the problem is that the book is genuinely boring.
- reacweb 10y agoSome of my french teachers (I am french) were fond of Proust and have read all his books many times. Some people hate him. Very few are "in between". Having long sentences is not bad style in french literature. Many authors use long sentences intentionally (I remember a sentence longer than 1 page in "la modification" from Michel Butor). This kind of critics is very similar to the "too many notes" of Mozart: http://www.toomanynotes.com/Amadeus.htm http://www.toomanynotes.com/Amadeus.htm
