I'm 50 pages in. Is this book actually a difficult read like redditors say or does Cormac just obfuscate his descriptions of land in poetic runon sentences to make you feel overwhelmed?

>>25185166The real density only starts around chapter 4. It's rather breezy until then. And it only becomes obfuscatory when the Judge speaks.
>>25185166It’s cowboys and indians genre fic for manchildren.Nothing hard about it unless you find gimmicky autistic descriptions of too formations and the eschewed punctuation to be difficult.
>>25185282>too formationsRetarded ESLs won't be the judge of that. Not those who haven't read it anyway
>>25185296On my phone, I actually meant to say “rock” formations. I’m not ESL, and I’ve read the book. I loved it the first time around, hated it the second. I still like that part where The Kid is nearly freezing to death in the snowstorm I guess.

Spoiler ahead:Everyone who talks about this book being easy or bad, or whatever, can never answer the simple question why doesnt the kid kill the judge when he has the opportunity. None of these geniuses can answer me that.
>>25185166>Is this book actually a difficult read like redditors sayNo, they're just fucking retarded.
>>25185329>why doesnt the kid kill the judge when he has the opportunity.Because, like the dude who was gonna kill him for scalping the indian boy, he's afraid that he's actually the devil and if you shoot him he'll just get stronger.
