In some ways I loved this book and in others I hated it. Parts of it were moving. Parts were hilarious. Parts were clearly self-indulgent. But I will say that at the very least I loved the actual writing. The prose was wonderful. As a TEFL teacher I can vouch for the fact that JSF captured the problems EFL speakers often have and especially with respect to Eastern European English learners. Overall, I enjoyed it and I recommend this book.
