What level of French do you need to be able to read this book reasonably comfortably? Would it be good for people working towards GCSE or A level or for high-achievers in year 9, even? Would be really useful to know as I am planning to buy a copy or maybe two for our school's senior library and possibly the middle school library as well.

- Sentences have indirect speech. ( My owner says, the hand of human is created not to punish someone, but for sensible things...)
- There is a lot of philosophical things, discussions( His free will, my free will, your teacher read in bible...)
- Smoking occures.
- topic of sex for money ( visiting bordello), sex just for fun (between cats in a dream and people who are expected to behave like cats) occures,
- there are at least three situations when a topic of death and murder are discussed.

I suppose the text is not difficult, but there is a lot of things in it. It is not easy to discuss it in a foreign language with beginners
