What Makes a Book Hard or Easy to Read?

Books are like puzzles. Some have only a few pieces, so they're easy to solve, these are the simple books. Others have hundreds of pieces that look similar, and it's hard to know where to start, those are harder to read. The words can be tricky too! If the sentences are long or use strange words, it might feel like you're trying to solve a puzzle with no picture.
