Don Quixote---easy read?

Hi, I'm looking to read Don Quixote (Cervantes) but want to know is it a relatively easy read? Like on a scale of Shakespeare>Scarlet Letter>Frankenstein>Gone With the Wind>Dr. Suess??? ;) and how long is your copy?? I want to make sure I can get through it alright in a summer before I commit to it in my english cl!! :D thanks guys!
