Against the Current: 1982

A very good book, affirmed by a 12-year veteran bookworm.

This book is very well written. It's clear that the author has a good writing style and a deep understanding of that period, bringing the various characters, customs, and scenes to life on the page. However, I feel there are two flaws. First, the opening paragraph really should be revised.

The author's writing skills are decent; at least the layout is neat and the narrative ability is passable. Logically, the results shouldn't be this bad. Unfortunately, the author's outline has major problems, which seriously dragged down the book's performance. The first issue is the rebirth point and the protagonist's mindset.

Author, you need to understand one thing: the protagonist, after a series of struggles, finally triumphs over this bureau chief. He victoriously regains leadership of the collective for a six-month term. However, in the reader's eyes, this so-called victory of returning to the collective is actually a defeat. Why is it considered a failure?

The plot unfolds smoothly and gradually, with a clear theme. This is a slow-burn story; if you want a fast-paced, exciting read, you'll have to wait and see. Writing a book is hard work for the author, so please be gentle. 🙂🙂🙂

This guy is only focused on making money. His wife divorced him and took their only son to settle in the United States. By the time his business grows big, his son will have been brainwashed into being an American since he was a child. What's the point of everything he's done?

Please update soon! I've already given you monthly tickets and recommendations! Please give me a featured post.

Great cover, great writing. Is the girlfriend a foreshadowing element? In how many chapters will the girlfriend make her comeback?

I've given you my monthly pass every month, but it's never been featured!

The most frustrating part of this book is that the first chapter introduces his girlfriend as a woman who has been with him since middle school, and they were happily married until he was 35, almost 20 years old. Then, after his rebirth, he seems to remember nothing. It appears they were both hit by a car together, so it's possible their story will revolve around them later.
