What reading level is The Devils Cradle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They gave me coffee and cake, and told me about their Carl who was going to be a pastor and how it worried him to hear the cows lowing just under his feet while he was pur- suing his studies: and I, looking through a wide crack in the floor, could see a cow and her calf quite plainly and could account for the curious thick air of the room and the compound smell of peat, milk, hay, rank tobacco, and clothes worn in the forest and on the farm.
Another day I went to see the pastor and his wife, an...d there, too, I was regaled with coffee and cakes, and treated as if I was a personage from a higher sphere. The pastor was nearly as unpleasant as Herr Putzer, a smug conceited man who preached unctuous sermons, had an insufferably condescending manner to his wife and all other women and was on edge about England. Wasn't it strange to find a minister of the Gospel, living a sequestered life in central Europe, bubbling over with wrath about a nation he no more knew than I know the Red Indians. His wife was a mousey woman with black hair brushed smooth and tight, beady black eyes, an expression as self-complacent as her husband's, and the kind of black dress a housekeeper wears on the stage.
