What reading level is A Roundabout Journey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The blue sea dashes and foams about them as in the days when the Greek adventurer first saw them. They are the verj- rocks which Poly- phemus hurled after Ulysses and his little ships, when 106 NOTES OF A ROUNDABOUT JOURNEY.
that crafty sailor escaped from the hospitable giant whose eye he had put out. I looked up the long slope hoping to see the cave where Polyphemus lived, and entertained the guests whose usual fate it was never to issue from their night-quarters. I did not discover the cave,... but I saw the steep slope down which the enraged Cyclops, roaring with the pain of his extin- guished eye, and guiding his steps by an uprooted pine tree grasped in his hand, pursued liis insidious and lost guests.
Only a little beyond this, rising still more from the sea, we come upon the sloping plateau where Acireale stands, crossing the Acis, and the flowery mead haunted aforetime by Galatea. Acireale is a very lovely town built upon a lava stream, overlooking the sea and com- manding a superb view of snowy ^tna.
