What reading level is Stiff book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Occasionally there is swelling of the abdomenbefore the skin and abdominal muscles char andsplit; the swelling is due to formation ofsteam and the expansion of gases in theabdominal contents. Destruction of the soft tissues graduallyexposes parts of the skeleton. The skull issoon devoid of covering, then the bones of thelimbs appear…. The abdominal contents burnfairly slowly, and the lungs more slowlystill. It has been observed that the brain isspecially resistant to complete combustionduring cr...emation of the body. Even when thevault of the skull has broken and fallen away, the brain has been seen as a dark, fused masswith a rather sticky consistency…. Eventuallythe spine becomes visible as the visceradisappear, the bones glow whitely in theflames and the skeleton falls apart. Drops of sweat bead the inside surface of Nicole's splash shield. We've been here more than an hour. It's almost over. Theo looks at Mack. "Will we be suturing the anus?" He turns to me. "Otherwise leakage can wick into the funeral clothing and it's an awful mess." I don't mind Theo's matter-of-factness.
