I don't even... Those are both totally straightforward narratives in fairly plain language, probably on an eighth grade reading level. The events are absurd in the first and arbitrary in the second (both quite deliberately, as rather the point of each book), but what on earth is difficult about the texts? I can see how they'd be unappealing to some, but difficult?
