What reading level is Lust for Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"If one of them touches the side wall, you will lose it."A signal was given and the cage shot downward on its two steel tracks. The free way through which it descended in the rock was only a fraction of an inch larger than the cage. An involuntary shudder ran through Vincent when he realized that the blackness fell away for a half mile beneath him and that if anything went wrong he would be plunged to death. It was a sort of horror he had never known before, this rocketing down a black hole into... the abysmal unknown. He realized that he had little to fear, for there had not been an accident with the hoist in over two months, but the shadowy, flickering light of the kerosene lamps was not conducive to reasoning.He spoke of his instinctive trembling to Jacques, who smiled sympathetically. "Every miner feels that," he said."But surely they get used to going down?""No, never! An unconquerable feeling of horror and fear for this cage stays with them until their dying day.""And you, Monsieur...?""I was trembling inside of me, just as you were, and I have been descending for thirty-three years!"At three hundred and fifty metres—half-way—the cage stopped for a moment, then hurtled downward again.
