What reading level is His Better Self; a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yes, seizing and making the best of opportunities is a means of getting on in the world.
But what is opportunity, and what is not? That is a different question, for Opportunity is a person so much and so adroitly impersonated and counter- feited that it is often difficult to know the false from the real. All kinds of plausible plans and schemes mask and parade as Opportunity, but, when seized, lead only to calamity and dis- aster. And to make the difficulty greater, Opportunity himself is often... disguised, so that many do not recog- nize him until too late. The thing then is 'to know your opportunity,' to be able to distinguish the false from the real. And that false siren, with her enticing words and dreams of wealth, deceived you and made you believe the real Opportunity was at your door.
"And what though the Swede advised you, and was honest and sincere? He was deceived himself, and 'if the blind lead the blind, both may fall into the HIS BETTER SELF 211 ditch.' 'Take a man's judgment for what it is worth.' Take advice, but think for yourself; for 'the man who has to run his affairs by advice will not go very far.' In short, 'use your own eyes if you would be wise.' "And how adroitly and how cun- ningly Fortune framed her speech!
