ioanaj 's review for:
One of the best books I have read in recent years.
I have found Saunders’ interpretation to be far from my own in many places. Nevertheless, because it showed me a different perspective it forced me to reckon with my take and either change it or stand by it.
I think this should be read by everyone who loves reading. One reason would be the terminology of the literary analysis woven subtly and not so subtly into the whole book, but the main reason would be that it makes one think about what reading does to them and their minds.
If you are daunted by the idea that this book is like a university lecture, or something dry and purely theoretical, don’t be: it is a lively, living and thoroughly engaging work. You have my word on it.
