Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.

So Tom moves back to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher--the perfect job for someone who has witnessed the city's history first hand. Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.

这个故事揭示的道理,正是我最近体悟到的。作者很厉害,通过一个故事、用另一种方式让我领悟到了同一个道理:活得久,并不一定就会活得幸福。活得久的生活只是这样而已: 有时,我突然想到,人们不会超过 100 岁,因为他们活不到那个时候,他们心理上也撑不到那个时候。生活对...

作者其他的两本书我都能读得进去,这本不知道怎么回事就是找不到那切入的点。可能是刚看完那本震撼我的EDUCATED,还是有hangover。

听说卷福在本书未出版前就买下了版权,决定将其拍摄成电影。我很好奇到底是怎样的一本书能有这么大的魔力。于是找来看看,看之前并没有很高的期望。但是看完后,感觉一般。语言很简单,很有表现力,最后开枪的情景到现在(看完已经有一个多月了)还有模糊的印象。只是整本书都以主人公的爱情作为主线让我感觉有点闷,内心活动却是描写得不错,但我觉得对我而言,视角稍微窄了点。英语初学者可以拿来读读,找找成就感。
