big
Hi! Is the following sentence correct?
" I loved your new story big as the others are."
To me, it doesn't make any sense. If it is correct, then could anyone explain it's meaning to me?
P.S. The above sentence was said by a reader to an author of many short stories.
" I loved your new story big as the others are."

There is, however, a way to read it so it makes some kind of sense, as "I loved your new story, big as the others are", i.e. "I loved your new story, even though the others are big". I suppose "big" would mean
