What reading level is The Silent Isle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whole business of hiscreation and preservation seemed an ugly and a heartless one, and hisredemption beyond the power of imagination. The train came in, and hegot wearily in, shook hands, and immersed himself in a book. He said nomore, made no sign, waved no hand of farewell. He did not feel anysentimental emotion; he had come on business, and he went away onbusiness.
Of course it was of no use. I wrote a few letters, read Gregory'smanuscript, and had to take a course of Sherlock Holmes in ...order toobliterate the nauseous memory of its dulness. Nothing came of it all, except a very offensive letter from Gregory about my ineffectivenessand general duplicity.
Why do I venture, it may be asked, to print this dreadful sketch of aman who may see it and recognise it? He will not see it, and for thebest of sad reasons. But on reflection I do not know that the reason isa sad one. Gregory died rather suddenly in his lodgings a few monthslater, and so the curtain came down upon rather a dismal comedy, or adeplorable tragedy, according to one's taste in classification.
