Thoughts? Considering picking this up
be prepared for a really weird writing style
Yeah, this is one of the things that worries me. I checked out a pdf a while ago, and the writing style was just unnecessarily vague and difficult to read. I've also read some of the statements that he made regarding this style, and it seems that he is not just doing it because it's easier for him or because that's the way he feels it should be written. It's as if he's actually putting in effort to be incomprehensible.
It's not difficult at all. The diolague reads like a children's book:
Hey son
Yes
How are you feeling
Good
Otherwise the book is just descriptive prose.
It's a great way to display the desolation of the world though, the language is sparse and up front in a really weird way, as the other user said, it reads like a children's book, lots of run on sentences and such. It is fairly difficult to read purely because of how annoying the style is at first, but as you go through you get used to it and learn to appreciate how it adds to the narrative.
everyone always talks about how depressing this book is, when really it's an almost spielbergian level of hope and optimism about the survival of goodness and joy in even the most terrible of times
Thanks for the feedback, guess I'll give it a shot.
People seem to love it, I thought it was just kind of slow and depressing.
