What reading level is The Adventure of the Peerless Peer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As we approached it, he described certain features in answer to Holmes' questions.
"So far, the only four-engined heavier-than-air craft in the world has been built by the Russians," he said. "Much to the shame of the British. The first one was built, and flown, in 1913. This, as you can see, is a biplane, fitted with wheels and a ski undercarriage. It has four 150-horsepower Sunbeam water-cooled Vee-type engines. The Sunbeam, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired." "I would rather not ha...ve known that," I murmured. The sudden ashen hue of Holmes' face indicated that his reactions were similar to mine.
"Its wing span is 97 feet 9½ inches; the craft's length is 56 feet 1 inch; its height is 15 feet 5 and seven-eighths inches. Its maximum speed is 75 miles per hour; its operational ceiling is 9,843 feet. And its endurance is five hours-under ideal conditions. It carries a crew of five, though it can carry more. The rear fuselage is fitted with compartments for sleeping and eating." Overleigh shook hands with us after he had handed us over to a Lieutenant Obrenov.
