Title: Disappointing
Review: Against the Tide came highly recommended to me, but I was unfortunately disappointed by it. There are two kinds of biographies, those that take you alongside a person and those who take you inside a person. This is of the former. This is one of those biographies where you learn all about what Watchman did and the events that were going on around him, but you don't see very much of what was really happening in his life and heart. There were hints of what made him tick, but only hints. In the end, I walked away feeling as if I knew what Nee did, but now who he was or why he did those things. This would make an excellent companion to other biographies of Nee's life or a solid foundation for research on Nee in general, but it fails to be inspiring or motivating.
Is the review positive or negative?
