What reading level is The Great Taboo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had he made the storm, then, they asked, andeaten the storm-apple, for no use to himself, but out of pureperverseness? If he didn't even want the windfalls and the objects vowedto him, why had he beaten down their crops and broken their houses? Theylooked at him meaningly; but they dared not cross that great line oftaboo. It was their own superstition alone, in that moment of danger, that kept their hands off those defenceless white people.
At last a happy idea seemed to strike the crowd. "What... he wants is achild?" they cried, effusively. "He thirsts for blood! Let us kill androast him a proper victim!" Felix's horror at this appalling proposition knew no bounds. "If you do, "he cried, turning their own superstition against them in this last hourof need, "I will raise up a storm worse even than last night's! You do itat your peril! I want no victim. The people of my country eat not ofhuman flesh. It is a thing detestable, horrible, hateful to God and man. With us, all human life alike is sacred.
