What reading level is A Covenant With Death book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The last spring rains had dried on the first of May and by June first Bryan Talbot’s cell was the coolest chamber in Soledad City. My mother’s house was large and usually airy, with tall, wide windows and overhanging eaves for shade; but that June it was an oven. The heat seemed to roll down like a bland, transparent, indifferent solar lava; it flowed into corners, filled basements, rose through parlors and kitchens and bedrooms and attics. Most of the year the town smelled good, even if it look...ed terrible. Exhaust fumes encroached slowly, but the desert supplied a regional perfume, cactus and cholla and prickly pear, Spanish bayonet and sage, nothing overpowering but a good clean dry sandy smell. That June we smelled of whatever was in the street. The air just hung, and the horse apples and dead cats decomposed fitfully; so, it seemed, did grass and shrubs and even people. Hochstadter was played out, as though he had been drained by the trial and now this, no breeze, no cloud, only a stinking town with pigs on the dirt roads and cars on the paved roads and oily streetcars on their tracks and the tracks embedded in ribbons of black tar that bubbled like bean soup.
