What reading level is The Devil's Cook book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although some kind of work is thought to be as important to the cure of mental disorders as aspirin to the alleviation of a headache, the patient displays a remarkably obdurate insistence on submitting to the tricks of his nervous system. Jay Miles was not a mental patient, but in this respect, at least, he felt and acted like one.
Left to his own devices, with many things to do that might have been done, he did nothing.
He merely thought about doing them.
He thought about getting his lectures i...n order for Monday’s classes; but economics, ordinarily a stimulant, seemed at the moment abysmally dull. He thought about preparing himself lunch, but he couldn’t think of anything available in the larder that appealed to his feeble appetite. He thought about having a drink; but drinking, if started, was something he might be tempted under the circumstances to continue, and he needed to keep a clear head with which to think of all the things to be done that he wasn’t doing. He thought about listening to music, which would really have required no effort; and he would have done this, if only it hadn’t been so far from his chair to the player.
