Book name : World of Warcraft - Arthas : Rise of the Lich King
Author : Christie Golden
Where did you buy it : Kelapa Gading
Price : IDR 370,000
When did you but it : 2 weeks ago
Synopsys of the story : The book tells us about Arthas from his childhood times until he merges with Orc Shaman Ner'zhul and become the Lich King
English level : easy / semi-classic

--------------------------------------------------------
FYI, in English, we use comma (,) as separator in numbers. Meanwhile, numbers after fullstops (.) are decimal numbers.
E.g : 250,000 is two hundred and fifty thousand
250.000 is two hundred and fifty

IMO, "English Level" is pretty relative to the person. What I found easy might be hard for the others. Vice-versa.
We should classify the English based on "Classic, Semi-Classic, or Modern"
