It is confusing at the beginning, but once you pass the first pages, it starts to make sense. It doesn't use tough language either. Maybe a couple of words you might look in the dictionary.(less)

I am totally confused. I'm reading disjointed nonsense prose. With the 4+ starts, I'm guessing that it comes together at some point, but I don't know if I can stick it out. How long does it take to start making sense?!
