For me, it's not whether the sentence is too complicated or too long, but the tools you use within it to make it stick (not the best word but I can't think of a better one at the moment) in the readers or listeners mind. One of my favorite classes in uni was rhetoric, and one of my favorite books to this day is Farnsworth's Classical English Rhetoric. I highly suggest it as a tote around, open to a random page and read as much as you like and never be disappointed reading. http://www.amazon.com/Farnsworths-Classical-English-Rhetoric-Farnsworth/dp/1567923852 http://www.amazon.com/Farnsworths-Classical-English-Rhetoric...
