Tough-O-Meter

We've got your back. With the Tough-O-Meter, you'll know whether to bring extra layers or Swiss army knives as you summit the literary mountain. (10 = Toughest)

(5) Tree-Line

Mixing straightforward language and narrative structures with complex symbolism and unfamiliar historical situations, Animal Dreams is a pleasant if challenging hike in the tree-line. In addition to some obsolete obsolete '80s-speak, like "post-office box" and "video store," there are also words and phrases in Spanish. Don't worry too much, though: Codi is usually pretty quick with explanations and translations.
