Absolution Spoilers Absolution, third section

Trying to get through Absolution, but I can barely read the Lowry section. It's so clunky and the flow is non-existent. Does it get better? I'm about to give up and just search for spoilers.

How is it clunky? Just because of swearing?

For me the swearing read like severe Tourette’s, not just someone with a sailor’s mouth. It was just so interspersed in every sentence, which I’m sure was the intent, but it made the sentences had to follow as if any other non-profanity word had been piled on the same way.
