What reading level is The Adventures of Johnny Vermillion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wasting no time in lament—a foreign emotion—he took the five-dollar gold piece he’d received in severance from an ebullient and unusually munificent Buntline, sewed it into the lining of his new suit coat, and boarded a boxcar bound for St. Louis.
In the restless years following the end of hostilities between North and South, not all of the pioneers who ventured West did so aboard day coaches and wagon trains, the latter already fading from the landscape in the glare from the flashpans at Promon...tory Point. Something in excess of fifty thousand maimed and impoverished veterans sought berths in freight cars and on the naked rods between the wheels hoping for work on the frontier. A rare whole man in that company of cripples, many of whom were younger than he, Johnny felt shame—for the fathers who were either unwilling or unable to secure their sons’ exclusion from the draft. He concealed his unbroken condition in the fluttering shadows.
Fortunately, conversation was limited to a barter system of smoking materials and flasks of paint-strip whiskey, and one lively auction over a paperbound novel, filthy and tattered, begun by an entrepreneurial fellow who wore a bandanna over one side of his face, ruined by grapeshot on some forgotten field; boredom was the overpowering complaint on that endless trek.
