What reading level is The City of Numbered Days book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
J. Wesley Cortwright — the upward surge in Mirapolis values, following the visit of the "distinguished citizens, " proved to be more than a tidal wave: it was a series of them.
The time was fully ripe for the breaking down of the final barriers of prudence and common- place sanity. Day after day the "curb" markets were reopened, with prices mounting skyward; and when the news of how fortunes could be made in a day in the Miracle City of the Niquoia got abroad in the press despatches there was a... fresh influx of mad money hunters from the East, and the merry game of buying and selling that which, inferentially at least, had no legal existence, went on with ever-increasing activity and an utterly reckless disregard of values considered as a basis for future returns on the investment.
Now, if never before, the croaker was wrath- fully shouted down and silenced. No one ad- 244 The Setting of the Ebb mitted, or seemed to admit, the possible imper- manence of the city. So far from it, the boast was made openly that Mirapolis had fairly out- stripped the Reclamation Service in the race for supremacy, and that among the first acts passed by Congress on its reassembling would be one definitely annulling the Buckskin Desert project, or, at any rate, so much of it as might be threat- ening the existence of the great gold camp in the Niquoia Valley.
