What reading level is The Pillow Fight book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You would think that people permanently condemned to dirt and near-starvation would help one another; but they don’t. There isn’t a location in Johannesburg that hasn’t been poisoned by racketeering.
Rent rackets, protection rackets, drink rackets, threats of murder and rape and beating-up – that’s the inescapable background, all the time. It’s fairly quiet during the day, when most of the men are away and the gang-agents go round in relays, leaving messages that the boss wants this and that..., or else … But at night the pressure is put on, the executioners move in.
There was a man called Ambuko, a Zulu, who came to live in the location of Teroka with his new wife. He was a strong man, of the middle years, but his wife was young. He built a new house, of iron sheeting and sacks and old planks and barrel-staves, but well-built, a house to be proud of in Teroka. Then one Sunday evening a thin man with a face like a meanly-made spear came to his door, and said: ‘I am from the Lions.’ Ambuko had heard of the Lion-men, a gang of thieves and robbers who made a hard life harder still for those in Teroka, and he said nothing, but went on smoking his pipe.
