This research bears on relation between text coherence and cognitive interest on reading texts for comprehension. Results show that reading times of target sentences situated in the end of a story were significantly longer when their meaning was inconsistent  with the earlier description of the main character  of this story. Moreover the interest scores of these target inconsistent sentences are also higher than those of consistent ones. Nevertheles  the inconsistent information is not better recognized  than consistent information. Future research must analyse different  types of inconsistency on different conditions of information recovery.
