Critics Review
“A hugely compelling reading experience. Storr weaves brilliantly between high and low culture–in the space of a few pages we go from Mrs. Dalloway to Gone Girl.”– “Observer”
“Will Storr has written a masterful guide to writing with The Science of Storytelling… As with any good read, Storr takes the advice he’s spent years studying and teaching. He’s an excellent writer. Reading The Science of Storytelling is in itself a pleasure… For the time being, while we’re here, we’re storytelling animals. Will Storr has contributed a wonderful guide of how to master the craft of invention. To pull a random quote from the formative years of my childhood, as Axl Rose sang, use your illusion.”– “The Big Think”
