Reading a few websites, it says I will need roughly 45 hours for dual instruction, and 20 solo hours (sounds like a challenge). Expenses can also range from $15k-20k depending on school.
Doesn't sound too far off the mark but it does take more than 4 or 5 hours for it to be second nature - trust me on that one!!
You will also have theory exams to pass.
Best thing to do ... call that local school and book a half hour trial lesson. Chat to the instructor and he or she will tell you what you need to know.
There are different aspects to flying and what one person finds hard, another may find straightforward whether it be hovering, landing, radio, navigation, handling, theory etc.
