What reading level is The Gambler a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By a strangely immature process of deduction, she had satisfied herself that marriage was a state of bondage — more or less distasteful as chance decreed. A state in which, by a fundamental law of nature, submission and self-repression were the chief factors necessary upon the woman's side. As sometimes happens when there is a great dis- parity in years, the wedded state had widened instead of lessening the gulf between Milbanke and herself. It had cast a sudden, awkward restraint upon the affe...ction and respect that his actions had kindled in her mind, while inspiring no new or ardent feelings to take its place. Ridiculously — and yet naturally — her husband had become an infinitely more distant and unapproachable being than her father's friend had been. And to this new key she had, perforce, attuned her existence. With a greater number of years — even with a little more worldly experience — she might have made a vastly different business of her life; for, at the time of his marriage, Milbanke had been hovering upon the borderland of that fatuous love in which an old 1 68 THE GAMBLER man can lose himself so completely.
