If you print out a list of what the words mean and cheat by referencing it for the first few chapters it gets easy.

i mean, i could pick up what they were trying to say by context, but it was just too much work and didn't catch my attention enough for it. now i know how semi-literate people feel

I actually did this. Though it's pretty lame, watch the movie first and then read the book. It kinda helps.

I'm big on reading books before I see their movie adaptations (if I care enough) because the book is usually better. If you see the movie first it kind of ruins the book.
