I'm trying to read this and honestly its so hard .Am I just dumb? I think I'm about 30 pages in and theres so many stupid made up words its like reading through context.
Does it get better or do I get used to it?

When I first started picking up reading again, I decided to use this as my first book back since I was an edgy teenager and heard it was brutal.

It was very hard at first with his made up words and everything, but I got used to it after a while. If you want to actually learn the words, try to use the context to figure out the definition of it or what Burgess meant by the word and write it down next to you. Then every time you see the word in the book, look over at the definition you wrote down
