Title: Attack of the mutant modifiers
Review: I eagerly opened this book and excitedly began reading it. After a few excruciating minutes, my wife walked by quietly."What are you reading?" she asked curiously."Eragon," I replied discouragedly."Why do you sound depressed?" she inquired inquiringly."Every other word is a damned adverb or adjective," I replied irritatedly."That could be a problem," she replied knowingly."Yes, it IS a problem," I muttered angrily. "Nobody simply DOES something in this book, they have to do it DESCRIPTIVELY. (...)""One might say his writing is rather prolix," she observed sagely."Actually, I like the word prolix and I even use it from time to time, but yes that about hits the nail on the head," I declared emphatically."How much shorter would this book be if some editor hacked off all the deadwood adjectives & adverbs?" she mused bemusedly."Probably about 100 pages," I replied speculatively.
