What reading level is The Greatship book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thirty-two years was not a long time. Three decades was little different than an afternoon, and that’s why for another century or twenty, locals might still refer to a neighbor as the newcomer. Such was life onboard the Great Ship. There were millions of avenues like this one. Some were short enough to walk in a day, while others stretched for thousands of uninterrupted kilometers. Many avenues remained empty, dark and cold as when humans first discovered the Great Ship. But some had been aw...akened, made habitable to human owners or the oddest alien passengers. This particular avenue was almost a hundred kilometers long and barely two hundred meters across. And it was tilted. Wastewater made a shallow river that sang its way across a floor of sugar-and-pepper granite. For fifty thousand years, the river had flowed without interruption, etching out a shallow channel. Locals had built bridges at the likely places, and along the banks erected tubs and pots filled with soils that mimicked countless worlds, giving roots and sessile feet happy places to stand. A large pot rested outside the man’s front door—the vessel made of ceramic foam trimmed with polished brass and covering nearly a tenth of a hectare. When he first arrived, the man poisoned the old jungle and planted another. But he wasn’t much of a gardener, apparently. The new foliage hadn’t prospered, weed species and odd volunteers emerging from the ruins.
