Query: How I used every vocabulary word in the dictionary to write my first novel

If a writer has a good story to tell why torture nearly every sentence with such verbal complexity when it could have been written intelligently with fewer words? I'm trying to get through this book, waiting for the "good part" to kick in. The main characters are overwrought with a thought life that is dull, uninteresting and totally self-involved. And while I know a good deal about art, it isn't enough to save this book from itself.
