The reader should be prepared for a challenge. Nearly every paragraph contains some kind of metaphor, turn of phrase, or pun. Many times, the writing resembles a poem more than a novel, with abstract ideas and seemingly nonsensical phrases appearing with regularity. In addition, coarse, sometimes sexually explicit language is quite common.
