Reader comments
The stories in this book are very interesting! I especially like the character named Kenny. He has a fierce temper and works hard. He never gives up in the face of adversity and finally succeeds. The author Gong Xue is also very good. She can write every story so wonderfully that it makes people feel like they are listening to other people telling stories in an island tavern. However, the endings of these stories are a bit tragic, which makes people a bit sad. Overall, this is a very good book and worth reading!
A book suitable for multiple readings
The people in the story have ended, but our story continues, so as long as we face the sun, loneliness is like a feather that blows away. So don't just stay in an isolated island, but go out bravely, and there will be a new beginning and ending. If you haven't reached the end of the world yet, don't stop moving forward.
