Yulia
Yulia is 20% done with No Country for Old Men
Very unusual narration style. Abrupt, flat, minimalist, high-tension.
McCarthy also avoids major punctuation: semicolons, commas, quotation marks, apostrophes.

Отмеряю чтение, по главе за раз и перерыв. Тяжело.

Yulia
Yulia is 40% done with The Measure
The core idea is interesting in the philosophical sense.
But the means of delivery, ugh!
Author uses very straightforward, subject-verb-object syntax. There is no rhythm, no linguistic ambition. Everything is so flat and 2-dimentional :(
