What reading level is The Watcher On the Tower a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of the wretched inmates, who had little to hope and therefore little to fear, were making the night foul with lewd songs and blas- phemy ; some were drinking and gambling, for many things could be done inside those grim, grey walls if a man only had money to bribe the officers of the jail. Some slept with callous indifference, early as it was ; and others sat in silent misery, counting the hours that lay between them and eternity. Much has been written by men who never spent an hour with a... condemned man, concerning the reckless bravado, the almost careless glee, with which men condemned to die by the hangman's hand await their fate ; but others who have passed through that ordeal, who have watched the wretch doomed to a dog's death, counting the moments that divide him from eternity, know better. Between the scaffold and the cell the steel-nerved man may pass with firm tread ; ay, even with jaunty stride, determined to die game. The hardy outlaw may even toss a jest or a jibe to the hangman as he pulls the cap over his eyes, and go into the shadow-land with a defiant laugh upon his lips; but that is the last 181 1 82 The Watcher on the Tower scene, the final effort of tortured nerves strung to madness.
