Interesting discussion. I have not used reading level functions yet, but I had been considering adding it at some point, to suggest books for when I felt like lighter reading material. It is very interesting to see that the results do not seem to be accurate.
I know some of the book titles mentioned with questionable scores and I agree that they don't seem correct. I would be rather amazed to see some of these titles in the hands of an 11 year old, let alone actually seeing them read (and comprehend) these stories.
