Have you read other authors from that time period? Long descriptions were pretty typical, it's not just him. I've read enough books from that era that I'm used to it, and sometimes I feel that more modern stuff isn't descriptive enough.

I have and I enjoy most of them. However I just can’t get past his writing style for some reason. Reading long descriptions is something that didn’t bother me with other authors of his time. So I’m assuming it’s something about the way the book is written that nags me.
