120: Amazing! The president has become a fan!(2/3)
It is inevitable that I can't help but feel helpless.
"Dear, go to bed first, I'll come over after the work," Charlie said.
But the next minute, he was taken away by his wife and pressed on the bed.
Next, the wife scolded her.
"Please give me an explanation, why do you have wounds there?"
Charlie trembled, "It was bitten by the mosquito."
"Do you think I will believe it? You scum." His wife slapped in the face.
Anyway, Charlie was in a bad mood.
………………………………
Charles, a famous American critic, had just finished reading "The Shadow of Ender", and then spent a few hours writing a comment of hundreds of words.
This should be considered a task. These comments will be published on Times Book Review and will be published on Reading Social Network.
To be honest, Charles was a little disappointed with "The Shadow of Ender".
No surprises, not meeting expectations.
Of course, this is still a wonderful book, but... it's not enough.
The name Orson Card makes people look forward to it too high.
So simply being exciting is not enough, and one cannot surprise people.
But even so, they still have to give praise in their comments, because after all, they are wonderful and the other party has a high status in the world.
But the comments of these hundreds of words are a bit insincere and are praised for being forced to be praised.
Writing such comments is especially tiring.
He is not young, so he will go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening.
Usually before going to bed, he would find a book to read, and then fall asleep as he looked.
At this time, he discovered the "Three-Body Problem" beside the bed.
To be honest, he doesn't want to see it.
He is already in his seventies and has long passed the age of curiosity.
He knew that a book was bad, so he wouldn't touch it.
But this is also a task. This is a book sent by Random House. The basic comment task still needs to be completed.
It happened to be a bad book, and I fell asleep as I read it.
"Okay, okay, let me see now. What will be bad if the content written in a 100,000 words a day."
The famous critic Charles began to open the book "The Three-Body Problem".
After reading the first chapter, he was a little surprised.
Although this first chapter has no science fiction content at all, it tells the unfortunate experience of the heroine during the Cultural Revolution.
But it's not bad at all.
Although it is in English, it reads without any barriers and is very smooth.
It's not as bad as I thought, nor is it a messy combination of countless words.
Next, let’s look at Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
Damn, damn, damn...
It's amazing, Charles, who is in his seventies, becomes more and more energetic as he sees it.
From entering the Red Bank Base, until the earth's civilization is blocked, and then to the world of the three suns.
It's totally fascinating.
Too...so...so good-looking.
At the beginning, Charles also adhered to his identity as a critic, reading while picking on his own.
But later on.
He completely forgot that he was a critic.
No matter what, be a reader first, then a critic.
In this way, he leaned against the head of the bed and looked down on page by page.
It was twelve o'clock soon.
Look at another page and go to bed.
Look at three more pages before going to bed.
After reading this chapter, go to bed.
Go to bed at three o'clock.
In this way, this 70-year-old critic finished reading one chapter after another.
at last……
I finished reading it all in one breath.
To be precise, I have finished watching the first one.
After reading it.
He suddenly felt like he was missing.
What else? What else?
This book is obviously not over yet.
The Three-Body Civilization completely blocked the earth's technological civilization, and the Three-Body Fleet has set out to destroy the earth.
The end of the earth is about to come.
At this critical moment, you ended?
What about the rest?
When Charles saw the time, it turned out to be seven o'clock the next morning.
Oh my god?
An old man in his seventies actually read books all night.
Then he found that he had extremely sore waist and back pain, but he couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and dial Charlie directly, asking for the manuscript below.
But no one answered Charlie's call, and he was still asleep.
Although he stayed up all night, Charles was not sleepy at all, and his mind was filled with the urge to comment.
So he simply stopped sleeping and went straight to the desk and began to write comments on "The Three-Body Problem".
This time, unlike the comments on "The Shadow of Ender", he is really full of impulse to tell. There are too many words to say in his mind, so he needs to think carefully about how to say it.
How to write this comment.
………………………………
Charlie was heard by a harsh phone ringing.
"I'm very sorry Charlie, our bookstore group cannot put "The Three-Body Problem" in the most prominent position and is going to remove it because its sales are really, very unoptimistic."
This is the first bad news.
Then, the bad news follows is getting more and more.
More and more bookstores, remove it from its most prominent position.
Because sales are indeed very bad, they are more and more behind "End's Shadow" and "Clockwork Girl".
And he found that his wife had run away from home.
Hell, nothing went smoothly.
He didn't brush his teeth and wash his face, but directly brewed a large pot of coffee for himself and came to the computer desktop.
I opened the reading social network again.
The rating of "Three-Body Problem" is still very low, only 3.1 points.
"The Shadow of Ender" is 8.3 points.
"Clockwork Girl" is 8.8 points, an amazing score.
At least now, "The Three-Body Problem" is far behind in terms of ratings and sales.
And it seems that there is no hope of catching up.
This result is really desperate.
Could it be that I am really out of my mind? Or is my taste different from that of the public?
But "The Three-Body Problem" is really an extremely stunning work.
Charlie clicked on the comments on Reading Social Network, and then he found that the comments here were extremely polarized.
Either it is five stars or one star, and the other 2,3,4 stars have almost no ratings.
Soon, he saw an authoritative comment.
Here is the comment from the famous critic Charles:
The most complex alien invasion story I've ever read. It's learned, it's fun, it makes you struggle with the whole big problem.
This is also the best science fiction I've read so far.
I have read too many books and I have almost lost the ability to distinguish between good and bad.
