Quello che mi \u00e8 piaciuto \u00e8 che lui usa un approccio personale: per esempio, parlando di Attila, scrive &#8220;Fu a quel punto che la storia prese una piega degna delle migliori telenovelas turche: una principessa imperiale scrisse ad Attila. Indovinate? Era Onoria.&#8221; (Onoria che nel titolo del cenno viene chiamata &#8220;La crush di Attila) Inoltre spesso ci d\u00e0 punti di vista diversi da quelli imparati a scuola (tipo che togliere la convertibilit\u00e0 del dollaro in realt\u00e0 lo rafforz\u00f2).
