What reading level is Willis the Pilot book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" "Reptiles, I was going to say, are connected at one end of the chainwith moluscs by the slug, and at the other with fish by the eel. Fromflying-fish to birds the transition is by no means abrupt. Theostrich, whose legs are like goat's, and runs rather than flies, connects birds with quadrupeds; these again return to fish through thecetacea. " "Yes, but the interval between such creatures and man is still great. " "True; to connect the two would be a process replete withinsurmountable difficul...ties, and only possible to creative power. Theprojecting snout would have to be flattened, and the features ofhumanity imprinted upon it--that head bent upon the ground would haveto be directed upwards--that narrow breast would have to be flattenedout--those legs would have to be converted into flexible arms, andthose horny hoofs into nimble fingers. " "To accomplish which, " remarked Frank, "God had only to say, 'Let itbe so. '" "Assuredly; and as there is nothing incongruous in Nature, aseverything is admirably adapted for its purpose, as unity of design isperceptible in all things, as every effect proceeds from a cause, andbecomes a cause in its turn of succeeding effects, so God has willedthat there should be a chain of resemblance running through all hisworks, and the link that connects man with the animal kingdom--thehighest type of the mammiferous race, and the nearest approach tohumanity amongst the brutes--is the creature before you.
