What reading level is North Star book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They did it on the winch cables, which meant, of course, some 30 feet less cable holding the rig on the side from which winds blow hard at the tail end of a depression. Ken Stewart wanted anchors 1 and 2 re-laid, but with only a single supply ship servicing North Star, Ed Wiseberg overruled him. He was spudded in by then and finding the going better than expected. He needed mud and drill casing, and he wasn’t going to have Rattler wasting time ‘frigging around with the bloody anchors.’ We listen...ed in to it all as Ken discussed it with the Rattler’s skipper, sometimes by walkie-talkie, sometimes on the R/T, bemoaning the fact that Yankee toolpushers didn’t know the difference between a semi-submersible off Shetland and a drilling barge moored in the shallows of the Gulf of Mexico. ‘It’s not right, Jock. It’s my responsibility if we drag. But because we’re drilling he makes the decisions.’ And the other laughing and saying, ‘Every barge engineer says the same. Ye canna win, can ye.’ They had started drilling on the 23rd, and as April ran into May, and the sea stayed calm, the danger of the rig dragging receded from my mind.
