Book Description
Everything you can imagine is real
High in his attic bedroom, twelve-year-old David mourns the loss of his mother. He is angery and he is alone, with only the books on his shelf for company.
But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness, and as he takes refuge in the myths and fairytales so beloved by his dead mother he finds that the real world and the fantasy world have begun to meld. The Crooked Man has come, with his mocking smile and his enigmatic words:"Welcome, your majesty. All hail the new king."
And as war rages across Europe, David is violently propelled into a land that is both a construct of his imagination yet frighteningly real, a strange reflection of his own world composed of myths and stories, populated by wolves and worse-than-wolves, and ruled over by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a mysterious book...

評分我常想,當母親給孩子念bed time story的時候,被怪獸和殺戮嚇到的人到底是母親還是孩子?或許孩子會認為那是天經地義的:王子要奪迴公主,必須揮舞利劍,必須砍下野獸的頭,隻因為孩子並不知道何謂殘暴。或許,母親纔會害怕,隻因擔心孩子太相信世間充滿瞭魔法,甚至認定巫婆...
評分約翰·康諾利的《失物之書》如果沒有開篇部分前六章的鋪墊和結尾部分最後一章的陳述,隻能算作一部中規中距的童話故事。那種講述故事的方式幾乎每個人能熟稔於心:很久很久以前,有個可憐的孩子,他失去瞭媽媽……按照某種已經固定化和經典化的童話故事模型,接下來情節是這個...
