What reading level is Avowals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But while I'm telling you of the Vizetelly case you may be asking yourself: what significance can this prosecution of long ago have for me to-day? and I answer you that some things are for all time and never lose their significance, being part and parcel of humanity. I believe the Vizetelly case to be one of these, so packed is it with subterfuge, evasion, lies, hypocrisy, cunning, an ill-smelling midden, humanity at its very worst. It will surprise you to hear that this poor old gentleman, in ...the seventy-third year of his age, could not find a lawyer to defend him. If he had poisoned half-a-dozen nieces and nephews, brothers or sisters, he could have had the best advice the Bar could supply to prove him an innocent man, but because he published Zola's novels, he could find nobody. The Counsel he em- ployed took the fees, but Counsel was a very pious man, who said that he could not go on with the case because, to do so, he would have to read the books. So he per- suaded Mr Vizetelly to plead guilty; Mr Vizetelly re- moved the passages that were said to be objectionable, the books were published without them; new passages were, however, discovered; he was prosecuted again, and again he could find no Counsel to defend him, and again he was advised by those who took the fees to plead guilty; and the old man, at his wit's end, in the seventy-third year of his age, enfeebled by illness, consented, and was sent to prison.
