Longer isn't always better. This is especially true in non-fiction. It takes alot of skill to present information in a short concise and understandable manner. I think sometimes the same is true for fiction. For example, while I loved the Sword of Truth novels, sometimes a character's speech will go on and on. This was especially true at the end of the last book. It went on for pages and pages of restating the same stuff. I don't think it added anything to the book.
