The book is written in a straight-forward style that most readers will find easy to follow. There are words and phrases that might be unfamiliar to some readers but most are evident within the context of the sentence. Reb continuously refers to his attitudes about women—that they are useful only for tending a man's needs and for work. The attitude reflects Reb's background and upbringing, as well as the time frame and culture of Reb's life. He mentions only the basics of his religion and there is no depth to his descriptions, meaning the reader won't get caught up in religious debates.
