Frank's prose is, generously described, less than fluid. The book is stylistically poor but thematically rich, the plot is pretty complex compared to the other shit you described which is all essentially YAshit written for marginally literate retards.

Except King, but he hasn't written anything worth reading in at least 20 years. My advice would be to read with a notebook and when you have a question, write it down. Whenever you sit down to read, read the questions you have and see if anything clears them up.

But yeah you're pretty much a brainlet, I was reading Dune in elementary school and did pretty okay. Of course there was some shit I didn't get, like what a 'beef swelling' was, but the general gist is pretty easy.
