Query: could be a textbook for poor writing

I remember reading The Flame and the Flower as a girl. I don't know what has happened to this author since then, but the prose could be an advertisement for poor writing.Every verb had an adverb, every noun an adjective(or two), and the sentences are not merely "run-on" -- they gallop in a writing style so embellished it is ludicrous. But far from enjoyable. Don't buy this book, you'll never get through it.
