In China Soup

"Vivid descriptions"

My Review

On the last days of 2024, I read and reviewed In China Soup written by Ian Gemmill.

"In China Soup" by Ian Gemmill offers an engaging exploration of two educators'
experiences in modern China. 

Gemmill's portrayal of their journeys delves into various facets of Chinese life,
including educational methodologies, the impact of communism, environmental
concerns stemming from industrial outsourcing, and the general attitude
towards foreigners. 

The book has been noted for its professional editing and thought-provoking
discussions on capitalism and communism. 

Overall, "In China Soup" is recommended for readers interested in travel,
cultural studies, or contemporary Chinese society. Its vivid descriptions and
the protagonists' perceptive observations provide a nuanced look into
the complexities of living and teaching in China.

Without any doubt, I give a 5 star rating for "In China Soup".

Three And A Half Minutes of Fame

 I enjoyed this book

My review

As I'm a nineties teenager myself, I enjoyed this book very much.
It was a flashback for me :-)

The writing is both sharp and empathetic, capturing the nuances of a character
grappling with their brief moment of fame and the often harsh reality that follows. 

The vivid storytelling keeps the reader engaged, offering moments of
introspection and humor.

Boucher’s ability to balance the personal with the universal makes
this novel a compelling read.

Therefore I recommend this book to all who like the nineties. Without any doubt
I gave a 5 star rating!

ps. Great cover too!
