I'm on the fence with it as well. How much is too much? Robert Jordan's descriptions were usually too much (a page on a dress?)
I understand the purpose in some of the works, but sometimes it just drags on enough to drive you nuts =)
I prefer a minimalist approach as well. I leave just the bare essentials in. Enough to visualize. I have my own image of "Sarge" but I want other people to have their own view of him. And so forth.
I actually tolerate Jordan's style more than Dan Brown's.
"The twenty-nine year old accounts receivable clerk scratched his blonde scraggily beard and stared with beaded eyes at the white monitor in front of him..." And so forth and so on
