 The heavy Caribbean vernacular made this a difficult and in many ways unpleasant read. Much like reading Faulkner, the lingo develops into a cadence as you get into the story. I have no doubt that some level of artistry was involved in writing this way, but it was difficult to fully appreciate the style's merits. In the end it was worth slogging through the cryptic syntax to get to the allegories, social commentary, and the relationships handled in the work.
