我想起这个标题是因为Fats和Krystal第一次不戴套的时候,Fats跟自己说这就是real life. 我暗自揣度彼时Krystal该是多么没感觉、无所谓、和绝望啊。虽然曾一度尝试跟Fats说说自己的事情,Krystal大多数时候表现的像是一个非常正常的,socially normal的跟同龄人hook up的女...

评分我想,成名作家最大的烦恼莫过于如何延续或是突破自我的创作生涯,他或她们不喜欢也不希望当自己的新作品呈现给读者时,所得到的反馈是令人失望的自我重复,渐而陷入江郎才尽的一潭死水,这对于任何一位作者而言都是不得不面对的挑战。显而易见,新作品担负的重任不仅要表现出...
评分昨天中午,一个星期的阅读历程终于结束的时候,耳机里传来蕾哈娜的‘umbrella’,醇厚的女声有力的打着节拍,“When the sun shines, we’ll shine together.Told you I'll be here forever,Said I'll always be a friend,Took an oath I''ll stick it out till the end.”看着...

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.

评分心理细节是看点,罗琳写得很趁手,如拍电影,多人物多画面同时切入,可能不错。不过铺陈太多了,后三部分快马加鞭,又过于浓稠。没有预料到Krystal的命运,这个选题,走向也过于沉重。
评分这本书最突出的优点可能是适合中学生背单词,基本上超出A-level程度的词都会附加解释性的比喻或者同义词…罗琳的写作思维完全是电影的,场景、对话和视角都有强烈的剧本感。作为通俗小说不坏,说不定是文学史上的第二个《Hard Times》。完全剧情概括:http://book.douban.com/review/5620220/
评分对人物的描写一如既往细腻,不过结尾有些狗血
评分开头好生似曾相识。最后三分之一渐入佳境了,可前面三分之二差点整死我。很多好细节,可前面几乎只有细节,琐碎细密沉重,就像jiak当年说屎捞人的时候:「太灰色了」。
