It must be five stars! There are so many things I want to say, but I can't say them at once. I still think the story from Erlin's perspective is the most enjoyable. If this story can be broken into pieces and told slowly, maybe it will be the next "Human World"!
This is a real life memoir. I dare not say that the author has restored the details of life one to one, but at least it is more than 80%. If you are in the 80s and 90s, you are reading this book. The author describes the trivial matters in life and emergencies in daily life, which are very close to that era. If you like novels about the living era, I recommend this book. Although it is a new novel, I cannot guarantee that you will like this novel, but you will find that this is a treasure book
I have read all the old thief's books, and then I found out that I had changed my name to Xiang Bei. I followed up and read this book, which was not highly rated. I was not disappointed. The content of the article was not laggy, it was real and natural and fascinating. It is a rare good book. I will look for another Xiang Bei book to read. , The content is so exciting, I strongly recommend friends who like to read in-depth books to pay attention to the works of Lao Ze (Xiang Bei), and deeply look forward to the birth of new works 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a collection of short essays, the same event, three brothers narrated from different perspectives, and three completely different lives. It is also an attempt on my part to create.
Congratulations to Brother Thief for publishing a new book. Brother Thief's products must be high-quality products 👍👍👍 Listening to Brother Thief telling the story of the Hao family, the brothers sat together and listened to him.
As expected of an old thief, he jumped into the trap with an ax at the beginning. I have read all the works, but why is this one rated so low? I cried and laughed sometimes while watching it. The writing is very good and I still have more to say. I hope there will be more movies of the same genre. It's good-looking, I love watching it, and I want to watch it again 😂
This book shouldn't be rated so low. It's very interesting. It tells the same timeline from different perspectives. The author is particularly good at detailing the details. After reading this, I can completely feel what it means to not persuade others to be kind without others suffering. At the same time, it also has a concrete definition of happiness
Xiang Bei's books have solid writing style and delicate emotions. There are related people in each book. They are very beautiful.
I finished reading it in two days. Okay, really good. The life of a generation is divided into three lines. Same time but different directions. You can read novels written in this style on a free platform like Tomato Reading. It's very exciting
This book is described in sections, telling the different life experiences of three brothers in a family, which is close to life and fascinating. It's a pity that it's too short and it ended before I could read enough. I hope there will be a sequel.
