What reading level is The Story of Religions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Deference to parents is strictly enjoined, who are to be obeyed and reverenced, except in the case of their enticing their children to idolatry. Murder and theft are to be punished, adultery and unchastity are dealt with by death and chastisement, but concubinage is legally permis- sible. Marriage is a duty on every Mohammedan, who is allowed by the Koran to take to himself four wives, provided they be not near relatives or cousins. Marriage with a wife's sister while the wife is living is forb...idden.
The ceremony of marriage consists chiefly in the signing of the marriage contract and the recital of certain prayers from the Koran.
A husband is allowed to divorce his wife on the ground of unchastity, disobedience, and general aversion. On the other hand, a woman cannot claim a divorce except for neglect of conjugal duty, habitual ill-usage, or want of proper main- tenance, and even in such cases she usually forfeits her dowry. The husband must maintain the divorced wife four months, when the divorce becomes permanent.
