Excuse me for intruding on this thread if I seem a little off-topic. I did start the book, but I didn't finish it. I just found his writing style too difficult. For me, it wasn't a matter of the words he chose. It was more the lack of punctuation that distracted me. I found it too hard to follow conversations between characters without any kind of quotation marks. I know that sounds like a small thing to get hung up on, but without the quotation marks, it was like the whole book was being spoken in one voice.
Anyway, that's all. If people really enjoyed it, though, maybe I should give it another look.
