What reading level is The Old Contemptibles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Five or fifty minutes; he couldn’t tell.
Alex put the automatic on the table and studied it. It was a Webley, small and snubnosed. His Uncle George had given it to her. Given where you live . . . Alex shook his head. You’d think it was Brixton.
They lived off the Lewisham road, near Blackheath. It was quiet; it was pretty, it was south of the Thames. Alex loved the vast green. Naturally, there had been repeated injunctions to keep the gun out of the boy’s reach.
What a prayer. Alex was the one w...ho’d sorted out the problem of where to keep it and where to keep the ammunition, too. Hidden, but within reach.
The slanting downpour changed to veils that rose and fell like delicate curtains and then hissed against the dark panes.
Alex jumped when he heard the front door open and close, heard feet pounding up the stairway.
They weren’t back, were they? But it was only one person, one person who had run up the stairs and whom he could hear, now, moving about in his mum’s room.
Alex stared up at the ceiling.
