What reading level is The Body of Jonah Boyd book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Earlier that week, watching the draft lottery on the little television in the kitchen with his mother, Mark had learned that his draft number was four. In the intervening days, all sorts of desperate measures had been proposed and dismissed. Orville Boxer suggested that Ernest ask one of his psychiatrist friends to write a letter asserting that Mark was a homosexual, but Ernest wouldn’t hear of it.
Then Ken Longabaugh advised that Mark bite the bullet and enlist, since with his education he’...d most likely be given an intelligence post anyway, as Ernest had been during World War II; yet this proposition Mark himself wouldn’t hear of, not because he objected to war per se (otherwise he would have declared himself a conscientious objector) but because in recent weeks he had undergone a crash course in radical politics, and now he understood that the war in Vietnam was merely part of a corrupt imperialistic campaign spearheaded by Henry Kissinger to suppress the will of the Vietnamese people; he would fight gladly, he said, if he could fight on the side of the North Vietnamese.
