What reading level is A Strange Story — volume 04 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The amusement is this: In a party of eight or ten persons, letone whisper to another an account of some supposed transaction, or a pieceof invented gossip relating to absent persons, dead or alive; let theperson, who thus first hears the story, proceed to whisper it, as exactlyas he can remember what he has just heard, to the next; the next does thesame to his neighbour, and so on, till the tale has run the round of theparty. Each narrator, as soon as he has whispered his version of thetale, wr...ites down what he has whispered. And though, in this game, no onehas had any interest to misrepresent, but, on the contrary, each for hisown credit's sake strives to repeat what he has heard as faithfully as hecan, it will be almost invariably found that the story told by the firstperson has received the most material alterations before it has reachedthe eighth or the tenth. Sometimes the most important feature of thewhole narrative is altogether omitted; sometimes a feature altogether newand preposterously absurd has been added.
