What reading level is A Hero Jean Valjean book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had he been a tree rooted in the soil along the Seine, he had not been more stationary. Men live, suffer, die, and hug their ugly tenements as parasites of these dilapidations, and draw their life-saps from such a decayed trunk. This human instinct for association is mighty in its impulsion. Not a few, but mul- titudes, prefer to be hungry and cold and live in a city to living with abundance of food and raiment in the country. Any one can see this at his alley or in his neighboring street. It i...s one of the latent insanities of the soul. The city is a live wire, and will not let go of him who grasps it. There is a stream of life pour- ing into cities, but no stream flowing into the country. The tide runs up the shore and back into the deep seas; not so these human tides. They pour into the Dead Sea basin of the urban community. Jean Valjean was a complete mod- ern in his indissoluble identification with the city. As a matter of course, his was the criminal in- stinct, superadded to the gregarious instinct, which hides in a city labyrinth rather than the forests of the Amazon.
