Would you give an example of wordiness (if you remember one)? I find that he writes long stories, but I can't remember him being wordy.
I do see the WTF moments though. In Apt Pupil, there was a scene where Todd dreamt about putting a dildo on his penis and used it as some sort of condom, I guess.
I guess I should clarify. It just seems that some stories take way too long to tell when I commented on him being wordy. The Tommyknockers seems to be a good example for that. Also, wasn't there a part when a cop shoots a soda machine because it came alive and tried to kill him or someone else? That would be abother wTF moment.
