It might just not be for you and if that’s what you decide it’s not a big deal but sometimes things grow on you as time passes. One thing to think about when reading them is why the author chose magical realism to convey their story. Would changing the story telling mode change your perception of the novel, would it be more palatable to you? Sometimes I find magical realism elevates the text, other times I find it becomes impenetrable. Usually I lean on the side of, I need to grow as a reader to appreciate them. After a few years I like to return to difficult books and see if anything has changed for me.
