What reading level is The Embezzler book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
REX AND I took an apartment together when we came down from Harvard to work in de Grasse. My uncle Lewis Prime let us have the commodious third story of his carriage house just off Lexington Avenue in Sixtieth Street for a nominal rent, and I decorated it gaily, as I hoped, with art nouveau theatrical posters and odd bits of Tiffany glass. Father wanted me to live at home, and he looked askance at my continued friendship with Rex, whom he had found a surly, socially unprepossessing fellow in Bar... Harbor, but he was much too wise openly to oppose the arrangement. He thought it entirely fitting when Rex informed him that he would always regard the apartment as mine and himself as merely the subtenant of a single bedroom. But I, of course, could have none of that. I would have shared anything with Rex, even my girls.
Most fathers of that day worried that their sons' friends would lure them to pleasures; mine was afraid that Rex might entice me to overwork. Father seemed to see my poor subtenant as a clerkish Lorelei with an account book instead of a golden comb, and, as an antidote to Rex's influence, he reminded me constantly of my duty to take up what he called my "position" in New York society.
