I started reading this before but I couldn't get through it because of the spelling and structure. I should like this book because I love dystopian fiction... Is it worth pushing through to the end?

Nancy In case you're still trying... the answer is yes. Try reading it aloud. Hearing it makes the meaning clearer.

Is Hoban up there with Cormac McCarthy? I'm only a few pages in, and it seems to me that, like Blood Meridian, sentence by sentence, Riddley Walker demands, and rewards, attention.
