What reading level is The Life of John Sterling book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAP, vii.] ITALY 163 The Italian descent is greatly more remarkable than the other side.
' We slept near the top, at the Village of Simplon, in a very fair and well-warmed inn, close to a mountain stream, which is one of the great ornaments of this side of the road.
We have here passed into a region of granite, from that of limestone, and what is called gneiss. The valleys are sharper and closer, — like cracks in a hard and solid mass ; — and there is much more of the startling contrast of lig...ht and shade, as well as more angular boldness of outline ; to all which the more abundant waters add a fresh and vivacious interest.
Looking back through one of these abysmal gorges, one sees two torrents dashing together, the precipice and ridge on one side, pitch-black with shade ; and that on the other all naming gold ; while behind rises, in a huge cone, one of the glacier summits of the chain. The stream at one's feet rushes at a leap some two hundred feet down, and is bordered with pines and beeches, struggling through a ruined world of clefts and boulders.
