What reading level is A Prayer for Owen Meany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"GOD HAS TAKEN YOUR MOTHER," he said to me, when I was complaining about practicing the shot; I thought he would never slam-dunk the ball in under four seconds, and I was bored with all our trying.' 'MY HANDS WERE THE INSTRUMENT," he said. "GOD HAS TAKEN MY HANDS. I AM GOD'S INSTRUMENT." That he might have thought such a thing when he was eleven- when the astonishing results of that foul ball were such a shock to us both, and when whatever UNSPEAKABLE OUTRAGE his parents had suffered had plunged... his religious upbringing into confusion and rebellion-I could understand him thinking anything then. But not when we were nineteen! I was so surprised by the matter-of-fact way he simply announced his insane belief-"GOD HAS TAKEN MY HANDS"-that when he jumped into my hands, I dropped him. The basketball rolled out of bounds. Owen didn't look much like GOD'S INSTRUMENT in his fallen position-holding his knee, which he'd twisted in his fall, and writhing around on the gym floor under the basket.
"If you're God's instrument, Owen," I said, "how come you need my help to stuff a basketball?" It was Christmas vacation, , and we were alone in the gym-except for our old friend (and our only audience) the retarded janitor, who operated the official scorer's clock whenever Owen was in the mood to get serious about timing the shot.
