Actually I like long words she uses. For me, they make the whole flow more smoothly. But then I tend to use quite a few long compicated words in conversations, though it is a bad idea to use "seven-syllabulles" in a supermarket :-)

I think whether you like it or no is just personal preference. I, for one, do not really like Hemingway's choppy simple sentences and short words.
