I think the "hard to read" aspects of The Devish House are around McDonald's, frankly, amazing use of language to paint the picture of a very complicated setting. So, while it took some getting into, the use of English and the cross over with the blend of Eastern and Western culture was just beautiful.
Now, it wasn't, IMO, as good or as well done as River of Gods, but it was damn close and easily the best actual novel on that list.
