if it's hard for anyone else to get past the slang in "Maggie"
It is a little hard to get used to. I ended up reading it out loud, which made it easier to follow, and probably entertained my roommates.
I thought it was a little hard to get used to at first, also. I feel like I am a slow reader to begin with and it slowed me down even more
but once I got used to it, I appreciated it more since it gives character to the story and the characters in it
