One of the standout features of this edition is the grading system. Burlington Books typically aligns its readers with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). By simplifying the sentence structures and focusing on high-frequency vocabulary, they ensure that the suspense and psychological horror of the original text remain intact while staying within the reader's linguistic reach.
