I just tried this book yesterday, and barely came trough the first 30 pages. I didnt exactly know who said what, and what there was said. Is it true that this book may be quite a work to read?

I read it, I finished it in December 2015,
and I am not even a native speaker of the English language. No dictionary, no help, and my teacher was away. And still I got the general idea and I loved the characters.

Books that immortal from 2 centuries past, are always challenging. Those were other times.

So, do not feel discouraged. Wait until you read James Joyce and tell me what hell feels like.(less)
