How hard is Исполнитель to read?

Исполнитель scores 38 out of 100 for difficulty on ReadingRate, making it moderately challenging. The score is a weighted composite of nine measures: four of how hard the prose is to parse, five of how hard the meaning is to extract.

Vocabulary: 40 out of 100
At about 27,500 words the work is a novella-length text, and nothing known about it points to specialised, archaic or invented language. It is placed at a middling level, below the literary density of The Great Gatsby's prose only if the register is plain, which the evidence cannot confirm.
Sentence structure: 40 out of 100
Nothing known about the book shows unusual sentence construction, so it is placed near the middle of the accessible band. It sits closer to The Remains of the Day than to Faulkner or Joyce.
Abstraction: 42 out of 100
Nothing known about the subject indicates philosophical or theoretical content, so a moderate-low placement is used. The short length suggests a focused narrative rather than an encyclopedic treatment.
Information density: 35 out of 100
A text of roughly 27,500 words has limited room for sprawling plotlines or heavy reference. It is placed in the light-to-accessible range, nearer Beach Read than War and Peace.
Narrative indirection: 42 out of 100
No evidence shows an unreliable narrator or fragmented telling, so the placement stays at a middling-accessible level.
Symbolic density: 35 out of 100
Nothing recorded about the book points to heavy allegory or motif systems. It is placed between Beach Read and The Remains of the Day.
Ironic distance: 35 out of 100
There is no evidence of satire or a gap between what the text says and what it means, so the placement is in the accessible band.
Resolution withholding: 40 out of 100
The novella length and lack of other evidence give no basis for expecting open endings. A moderate-low placement, nearer genre fiction than 2666, is used.
Structural complexity: 32 out of 100
A work of this length rarely sustains elaborate timelines or nested narrators, and nothing shows otherwise. It is placed in the simple-to-accessible range, nearer 1984 than Absalom, Absalom!.
