MGB officer Leo is a man who never questions the Party Line. He arrests whomever he is told to arrest. He dismisses the horrific death of a young boy because he is told to, because he believes the Party stance that there can be no murder in Communist Russia. Leo is the perfect soldier of the regime. But suddenly his confidence that everything he does serves a great good is shaken. He is forced to watch a man he knows to be innocent be brutally tortured. And then he is told to arrest his own wife. Leo understands how the State works: Trust and check, but check particularly on those we trust. He faces a stark choice: his wife or his life. And still the killings of children continue...
我在写评论的时候,曾经经常愿意把“人性”这个词装饰进文章中,而大多数情况下除了能让文章显得冠冕堂皇一些之外,我并不清楚我为什么要加这个词,因为我还不完全清楚这个词的真正意义。我也曾经常的想,人性究竟是什么,而哪些又算是人性的特征,人性中所有的都是美好而善良...
评分某外国科学家曾经做过一个著名的测试,测试者被询问,在村庄遇到暴徒袭击的情况下,如果捂死你自己的孩子,就可以保住你自己还有村里所有人的性命,你会怎么做。结果显示多数人都选择会捂死自己的孩子,理性战胜了情感,生命便得以延续,这是人类数万年来繁衍的本能反应。但这...
评分“走进农舍,男孩的尸体不见了。炉子上放着一个大锅,锅里在咕噜咕噜冒泡,不知炖着什么。安娜领着他(主人公帕维尔)坐到炉旁,史蒂芬盛满满的一碗递给他。他低头盯着这碗热气腾腾的汤:碗里漂着压碎的橡实,关节和一条条的肉,史蒂芬和安娜看着他,史蒂芬说道:‘你本来会死...
评分《44号孩子》是英国作家汤姆•罗伯•史密斯的处女作,读罢确有惊艳之感,不得不说那些让作者载誉的奖项当属实至名归。 小说开篇就以追捕为缘起,把读者带入了紧张而离奇的推理氛围当中,孩子们在追捕骨瘦如柴的猫,为了喂食同样形容枯槁的自己和家人,熟不知他们已...
评分虽然还没全部看完,但感觉本书并不像豆瓣上评价得那么出色,只能说是情节还算可以吧,写得的确是比较生动。但有些看法不说不快。 感觉作者把50年代的苏联社会描写的太黑暗和残酷了,好象全社会完全被克格勃控制了似的,一片绝望好象人间地狱,我个人对此表示怀疑,...
这侦探小说像1984真实版,关于连环杀人案的内容其实挺少的,而且情节透露比较早,略好猜,2/3的是后男主父母那封信基本可以让人联想前因后果。剧情完全是靠奇葩的基情(误 其实是恶意 来推动的。喜欢女主角蛮讨喜的,机智勇敢而且还比较果断。
评分电影真是太烂了
评分almost ridiculous
评分Surprisingly good. 语言流畅,架构合理,节奏有序,扣人心弦,很好的消遣读物。
