Query: simplistic and pompous

How can a book be both simplistic and pretentious? This book does it. Another thing, repetitious. For instance, I wanted to scream each time I read, "men/women of the desert." I know it's a fable, but I have a problem when a person speaks to inanimate objects (such as wind, sun, heart) and actually gets a dialogue.
