I read all kinds of books (one of my friends jokes that I will read anything that holds still long enough), but sci fi/fantasy is my favorite. I also love books on anthropology and archaeology and other sciences.
I tried to read this, I really did. I just could not understand any of it, and context clues proved quite challenging. Because I could not understand half of the slang, I could not get into the plot. The only way I could conceive of trying to read this again is if I had a dictionary explaining the slang.
