What reading level is The Big Con book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They have reached the top in the grift*(which includes crimes depending upon lightness of touch and quickness of wit, as contrasted to the heavy-rackets which involve violence); they have arrived at the ultimate in success and achievement; they have gone as far as any professional thief can go.
Other grifters recognize this fact; they look upon the confidence man with envy for his position, admiration for his success, or desire to emulate his feats, according to their individual inclinations. So...me, with the predatory instincts almost universal in the underworld, have a very personal interest in the confidence man; they see in him a fat mark to be trimmed like any other sucker.
Confidence men are not unaware of their social preeminence. The underworld is shot through with numerous class lines. It is stratified very much like the upperworld, each social level being bounded by rather rigid lines determined largely by three factors: professional standing, income, and personal integrity. While, as in the upperworld, income has much to do with social position, professional excellence and personal “rightness”
