Lanagan's prose can be a bit challenging to get the hang of, but I think it's totally worth the effort to stick with it.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-25240664714023958172013-08-08T16:01:41.456-04:002013-08-08T16:01:41.456-04:00While I am intrigued by the way you described the ...While I am intrigued by the way you described the author's writing style, I don't think I have what it takes to attempt a book like this. The horrors the MC has to endure would really be hard for me to stomach! I think I'd better stick with trying out The Brides of Rockroll Island instead, as you suggested.

It sounds like a powerful story and a moving one too, albeit a bit grim. I think your right about certain books you must be "ready" for.
