Is this normal or are my comprehension skills just poor? The first half of a book I’ll read 20 pages an hour and the second half I can get up to 40 per hour. Its the first book I’ve read by this author and it almost feels like I’m trying to decipher a different language. I have never been the best with comprehension and have ADHD so I have found myself re reading pages constantly.

    No it is a hard book to read.

    I started with No Country For Old Men. That book is much less dense and a good way to really get a feel for Cormac’s style of writing.

      I was just thinking about what works of his would be a good starting point, and I think you’re right. It has a pacing and plot that might be more digestible to casual readers and new-to-the-author readers, too.
