He laments on how long Jordan's books are, he knows its pulp, but he reads it anyway.
These newer ones aren't long enough. After Crown of swords every single book has been 1/2 the size of previous books. That's why a lot of people are whining about the new books. They are really only half books.
Long ain't the problem. The problem is they suck. The first one was great, but they became less and less substantial until by the time I quit reading them (either book 6 or 16, it doesn't much matter) they were boring as hell. I always thought that he should have ended that series and done a prequel series - the historical references he makes are intriguing. Too bad, there was a lot of potential there.
