What reading level is Robert Louis Stevenson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thiswas what Stevenson did, and the very conversations that pass between hischaracters have an air of distinction that is all his own. His books arefull of brilliant talk--talk real and convincing enough in its purportand setting, but purged of the languors and fatuities of actualcommonplace conversation. It is an enjoyment like that to be obtainedfrom a brilliant exhibition of fencing, clean and dexterous, to assist atthe talking bouts of David Balfour and Miss Grant, Captain Nares and Mr. Dod...d, Alexander Mackellar and the Master of Ballantrae, Prince Otto andSir John Crabtree, or those wholly admirable pieces of special pleadingto be found in _A Lodging for the Night_ and _The Sire de Maletroit'sDoor_. But people do not talk like this in actual life--''tis true, 'tispity; and pity 'tis, 'tis true. ' They do not; in actual lifeconversation is generally so smeared and blurred with stupidities, soinvaded and dominated by the spirit of dulness, so liable to swoon intomeaninglessness, that to turn to Stevenson's books is like an escape intomountain air from the stagnant vapours of a morass.
