What reading level is The Star book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Clarke Volume III: The Star A Slight Case of Sunstroke First published in Galaxy, September 1958, as ‘The Stroke of the Sun’ Collected in Tales of Ten Worlds Someone else should be telling this story—someone who understands the funny kind of football they play down in South America. Back in Moscow, Idaho, we grab the ball and run with it. In the small but prosperous republic which I’ll call Perivia, they kick it around with their feet. And that is nothing to what they do to the referee.
Hasta la... Vista, the capital of Perivia, is a fine, modern town up in the Andes, almost two miles above sea level. It is very proud of its magnificent football stadium, which can hold a hundred thousand people. Even so, it’s hardly big enough to pack in all the fans who turn up when there’s a really important game—such as the annual one with the neighbouring republic of Panagura.
One of the first things I learned when I got to Perivia, after various distressing adventures in the less democratic parts of South America, was that last year’s game had been lost because of the knavish dishonesty of the ref.
