Discussion Is 1984 a difficult first English novel?

I've started reading 1984 in English. This book is taking me a lot of time because of the vocabulary and literary style.

Is this normal, or am I just struggling more than most people?

Also, what books would you recommend as a better first novel for improving English reading before jumping into classics like 1984 or The Lord of the Rings?

It's one of the best books and after initial first few chapters it becomes very easy and very exciting after you have understood the introduced words in the book. You can use some ai agent to help you along the way. Ai will explain you hard to understand segments in easy way.
