I didn't like it. I don't get what is so good about its style. The prose is too purple and it meanders a lot. Even for its time the style feels choppy.

Purple? How is prose purple? Genuinely curious if this is an alternate usage for the word or a typo.

Google says "prose that is too elaborate or ornate".
