Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist. His bestselling novels are translated into 28 languages. The Guardian has described his writing as 'delightfully weird' and the New York Times has called him 'a novelist of great talent' whose writing is 'funny, riveting and heartbreaking'.
His novels for adults are The Last Family in England, narrated by a labrador and optioned for film by Brad Pitt; The Dead Fathers Club (2006), an update of Hamlet featuring an 11-year-old boy; The Possession of Mr Cave (2008), about a man obsessed with his daughter's safety, and The Radleys (2010) which won Channel 4's TV Book Club public vote and was shortlisted for a Galaxy National Book Award (UK). The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).
His multi-award winning popular first novel for children, Shadow Forest, was published in 2007 and its sequel, The Runaway Troll, in 2009. His most recent children's novel is To Be A Cat (2012).
From Matt Haig's Twitter: 'It is about a library between life and death where a woman gets to try all her other lives she could have lived. It will be out next September if I actually finish it.
Nora feels swamped by all the bad choices she has made in life and attempts to take her own life. Then, when given the chance to see all the ways her life could have been different, she must finally work out the answer to the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?.'
I found this book is dull to read. But there are some interesting ideas. One of them is why Nora entered this library. Who is given the chance to visit this library? The key idea of the book is that you have made so many mistakes in your life and you want a...
评分为了猫还有我的灵感忍痛加一星。 读这本书的时候,发现女主有很多后悔没做的事情(谁不是呢)。但是那些后悔的事情多数是自相矛盾的。比如女主前几年后悔自己选了哲学没选地质学,后几年又后悔自己没读哲学系硕士……我突然醒悟所有的后悔都是基于当下的感受,没有一个永恒的解...

小红书博士热推。用奇幻的手笔写出了人生种种的困惑无奈绝望但又满怀希望,一心去寻死的人是忘掉了自己对生活的热爱,自以为陷入万劫不复的深渊其实可能只是一个及膝的游泳池,自己拉自己一把,便会活过来的。人不一定要时时刻刻坚强,但一定要记得和自己和解啊,自己放过自己,才会找到出路。别人可能不了解你不要紧,你一定要了解你自己,你一定不是孤独的,一切都会过去。身边有个朋友说:自杀的人本身就是矫情的。我听到的时候相当震惊。这是多么自私自大自命不凡的人才能说出的话,同理心的缺失也是一种心理残疾吧。即使不能够做到 put yourself into other people's shoes,不能理解也没关系,起码的尊重和谅解至少可以做到。愿一切经受磨难的人都能守得云开见月明,柳暗花明又一村。
评分沒完沒了絮絮叨叨罐裝雞湯,唯一的好處在是聽的audible不佔用我珍貴的用眼時間
评分大意了,竟然用英语看穿越小说。很鸡汤,逻辑不通,小故事堆砌。很多次给我催眠,挺好。看书还得找经典,瞎看踩雷风险太大。
评分推荐作者多看点晋江穿越小说
评分非常无聊的一本书 看的发困 就当学英语看吧 逼自己看完了
