What reading level is The Rake book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Considering the pleasure he had always taken in setting people’s backs up, it was surprising how irritated he was by what had happened. For all his wicked reputation, he himself would never have created an embarrassing scene on a social occasion, in front of women and young people. It took a respectable person like Junius Harper to behave so badly.
His mood was not improved when the only drink he could find in the Strickland liquor cabinet was a bottle of sherry. He was not partial to sherry. Wo...rse, the quantity was nowhere near enough to drown the effects of the vicar. Swearing, he made a mental note to ask Mrs. Herald about the large order for wine and spirits he’d given her.
It didn’t take long to finish the bottle. He considered going out to a tavern, but the hour was late and country watering holes wouldn’t keep London hours. Much as he wanted a decent drink, he didn’t fancy the picture of himself storming around rural Dorset looking for one.
By three in the morning, as he tossed sleepless and still angry, he was wishing he had forsaken dignity and sought out a tavern.
