Is LINQ Becoming a Monster?

I love LINQ . It gives the developers the power to query databases and lists in a manner far more succint, readable and elegant than that could otherwise be obtained via traditional looping methods ( you know, the combination kinds of for, if ) that normally result in lines and lines of code, methods and sub-methods calling. But after using it for quite sometime, I found that LINQ could be a bit prohibitive. Prohibitive in the sense that you always have to write LINQ expressions that are big, complicated, ugly and undecipherable at times.
