What reading level is The Descendant a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not that Michael was satisfied far from it ; but his dissatisfaction had taken a new and startling direction. The bitter lines about his mouth faded into a general expression of uncertainty ; his speech was less cynical, more honest. He was fast acquiring the air of a man who sees in the world the oyster ready for his opening.
Perhaps, of all men, John Driscoll was the first to notice the change. The desperate, revolutionary spirit from which he had feared so much he now watched with growing co...m placency, seeing in it a flame which, sooner or later, must burn itself out. One may play with opinions as long as there is no danger of one's cutting one's self.
Michael was beginning to realize that life might turn out to be a pretty good thing too good to be squandered in altruism, so called. And as long as life seems good to us we are content to leave in the hands of Providence the slaying of public dragons. It is not of happy men that martyrs are made, and Akershem was beginning to play the reformer after Driscoll's heart, the wise one who leaves his schemes as well as his stones to be tested by others.
