On a chilly February day two old friends meet in the throng outside a crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence, Clive as Britain's most successful modern composer, Vernon as editor of the quality broadsheet, "The Judge". Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister. In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact that will have consequences neither has foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits and Julian Garmony will be fighting for his political life. A contemporary morality tale that is as profound as it is witty, this short novel is perhaps the most purely enjoyable fiction Ian McEwan has ever written. And why Amsterdam? What happens there to Clive and Vernon is the most delicious shock in a novel brimming with surprises.
每次看过伊恩的书都不吐不快,这次也是 关于用“恐怖”这个形容词来给伊恩贴标签,总觉得有种想要喊出来的认同感,真他妈是太贴切了,这不是鬼吓人,不是忽然跳出个树干粗的大蛇或直径2米的蜘蛛,而是我们许多人童年时期都面临过的一幕——看到一半忽然不想看下去的电视场面,...
評分“…allows me to deceive all, allows me to reach my end, allows me to arrive at my Amsterdam.” Perhaps Clive Lively had thought about that when he came to his symphony orchestra in Amsterdam, a place where euthanasia has been permitted. But the author did ...
評分虽然都死得难看,但并不代表不存在道德困境,其根源是评判尺度的缺失。比如弗农方面,个人恩怨,一己或小范围私利,如果混杂着政治因素,那么卑鄙与智慧、残忍与勇气的边界就变得模糊不清。杨壮士就是我们的实例。 高压力的现代生活也加速人的堕落,在令人窒息的快节奏中总是倾...
評分永远不要以为别人有多了解你,当你把你内心最真实的情感展露给你所谓的朋友时,你也将自己置身在了别人的砧板之上。人生来是教人孤独的,不要祈求灵魂的同行,只要享受和自己独处的时间,倾听内心最真实声音,所谓的痛苦才会离你远去。只有不相信自己的人才会想要通过伤害...
昨天在去布魯剋林的Q綫上看睡著瞭,書掉下來砸瞭一位廣東阿姨的腳 -_-
评分一刷完成……
评分Gripping story, cleverly engineered. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. However the ending seems forced to me.
评分悶
评分本來這種劇情發展我是特彆喜歡的!作者在這篇小說中又展現齣瞭對非專業領域驚人的瞭解程度。《星期六》裏是醫學,這裏是音樂。但可能因為之前看星期六覺得太喜歡瞭吧,讀這本書的時候自然就會有很大的期待,然而它沒有足夠地迴應我的期待,有一點點小失望~
