What reading level is Confessions of An American Opium Eater : From Bondage to Freedom book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The recorded experi- ences of opium and morphine users who have attempted to cure themselves by gradual reductions of the daily dose of their opiate, is like a horrible, infernal chorus of shrieks and screams. The language has been ransacked by these sufferers for terms intense enough to set forth even a little of their misery !
" Let me endeavor to place before the reader the expe- riences of a typical case of attempted self-cure. Every incident and detail of suffering, and of lamentable and d...isastrous failure, can be substantiated by scores of pub- lished experiences. Let the individual be of middle age, and originally of more than ordinary strength of constitu- tion, and of a hopeful temperament. His powers have not been greatly wasted, as yet, and he has by nature a strong mind and a determined will. He^has hitherto made only feeble and abortive attempts to cease using the drug, but now, alarmed by a failing stomach, or shocked by a vision of a life ruined, he summons all his strength and con- denses all his energies of mind and body into a resolution to break all the withes which are binding all his powers.
