What reading level is The Lonely Skier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mayne was playing Danse Macabre now. The Contessa and Valdini were still talking together. And the snow streamed past the windows and piled up in great drifts on the belvedere. Then he took an old leather wallet from his pocket and brought out a folded sheet of foolscap. He smoothed it out on the bar and handed it to Engles. ‘That is the statement made by Korporal Holtz of the Panzer Grenadiers,’ he said. ‘You may read it.’ Engles placed it on the bar so that I could read it over his shoulder. I...t was typewritten and in German. It was dated 9th October, 1945. I reproduce it here because I happen to have it with me as I write and because it is a good statement. Holtz tells the story with a directness and simplicity of wording often to be found in statements from soldiers. And this, combined with the noise of the wind and Mayne playing, made the scene he described very vivid to me as I read it, there in that bar-room, right over the spot where it had happened. It was, as Keramikos said, not a pretty story and it invested the old with a peculiarly live quality that must, I think, be possessed by all things which have inspired greed and caused the death of many people.
