PositiveStorgy MagazineSaunders writes in an easy-breezy style, with lots of silly anecdotes and self-deprecation. Whether or not this appeals to you is probably a question of personal taste. I feel that Saunders is trying a bit too hard to be the cool teacher that everyone likes, and occasionally while reading I wanted to rebel and shout, ‘OK Boomer!’ from the back of the class. On the other hand, it’s a light, easy, fun-filled read, which takes its subject seriously, but not too reverentially. Saunders says things like, ‘Write it like Tolstoy. Use, you know, a lot of facts. Ha ha.’ He makes the Russians feel approachable.
