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.
I read it for the first time recently and feel like I was in some sort of fugue state. I loved the vividness of the imagery even though it’s like a fever dream. Not an easy book to read, but definitely worth it.
It is definitely a challenging book. At a certain point you just have to stop reading it and feel it. After that you’ll have to put it down for a while because the feelings aren’t great, but they’re there and quite vivid.
