In the sense of readability his use of language is very interesting.

I wonder if anyone has done an analysis of reading age for his books?

What I have noticed re-reading them as an adult is that they are still readable, but the use of language in SA is more child directed than the later novels. I assume that as SA was probably in AR's own mind a 'one off' the success changed his writing style and level of vocabulary.
