What reading level is An Outcast of the Islands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A mad trick ! If they hadn't been scoundrels — hopeless scoundrels — you would not have put your ship in jeopardy for them, I know. You would not have risked the lives of your crew — that crew you loved so — and your own life. Wasn't that foolish ? And, besides, you were not honest. Suppose you had been drowned ? I would have been in a pretty mess then, left alone here with that adopted daughter of yours. Your duty was to myself first. I married that girl because you promised to make my fortune.... You know you did ! And then three months afterwards you go and do that mad trick — for a lot of Chinamen too.
Chinamen ! You have no morality. I might have been ruined for the sake of those murderous scoundrels that, after all, had to be driven overboard after killing ever so many of your crew — of your beloved crew !
Do you call that honest ? " " Well, well ! " muttered Lingard, chewing ner- vously the stump of his cheroot that had gone out and looking at Almayer — ^who stamped wildly about the verandah — much as a shepherd might look at a pet sheep in his obedient Rock turning unexpectedly upon him in enraged revolt.
