评分 评分 评分如果需要一本书来陪伴、反思那个充满混乱与孤独的2020年,"the Midnight Library"是不错的选择。 故事并不复杂:经历孤独、失业、爱宠去世等一系列失意事件后,绝望的Nora决心自杀。在生与死的交界,Nora的意识来到了一个图书馆。图书馆的每一本书都记载了她每个不同选择下衍生...
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。
评分算是有疫情时代特色的书。听的BBC的有声书,演绎得有声有色的。故事说不上新但是给我带来了一些惊喜。敞开心扉并不是一件容易的事情。害怕被拒绝,勇敢地面对,勇敢地感受苦痛。
评分虽然我喜欢喝鸡汤,但是无限流穿越,一下就能猜到结局的这碗鸡汤食之无味,弃之可惜。三星给原版书的质感,比中文书读起来有感觉。
