If the story is one I really like, I hate for it to end. Therefore it should be long. That said, I really hate books that you think, "Well it might get better in the next chapter." Those should never have been started. I won't name any since the most recent one was a "very popular" book that was made into a movie (class "C" IMO).

That just leaves the ordinarily good books. With those it depends on the story. Some writers can write a novel that takes place in a single day. Others cover several life times. On this type, the author should say what he has to say & shut up - so I will.
