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.
六月底的时候,师傅神秘兮兮地跑到我桌边,揪着耳朵问我愿不愿意去英国待两个月。听上去很诱人呢。虽然要抛夫弃女、背井离乡,可毕竟能亲眼见识一下大名鼎鼎的“日不落帝国”,也是一件令人心向往之的幸事。事实上,我也是用这同样的诱饵把研究生时的好友老丁骗入伙的。后来...
评分《偶发空缺》最大的新闻点是“J.K.罗琳第一部成人小说”,写的是成年人的故事,成年人之间的纠葛和他们的纷扰。二三十个主要人物,个个异常传神,虽俱为麻瓜,可怜可恨之处各不相同。成年人读这本书,心中最隐秘的角落或许会被照亮,但不用担心,世无完人,小说中最完美的人物...

评分盼到了J.K.罗琳的新书,却不是《哈利·波特》的续集,而是一个全新的故事供成年人阅读。故事发生在英国西南部一个名叫帕格的小镇上,刚过不惑之年的巴里•菲尔布拉泽先生突然病逝。原本生老病死、悲欢离别是再正常不过的事罢了,但平日里安宁和睦的帕格镇便从此开始了...
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...
一场死亡引起的三四十个人物故事神展开,把所有羁绊都有伏线连了起来,一头一尾像极了专门揭示人性的日系推理,倒是中间太过九点档有点弱了,总体来说完全没有失望。缺爱仍然是社会不和谐的主要因素= =+
评分居然是给成人看的悬疑小说......
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/
