A bit disappointing.
评分It’s poisonous. Vulgarly written. Without F*bombs the author couldn’t carry out functional conversations. The rowdy structure did not help with the tension she tried to force upon our readers. The whole thing just gave me headache reading it. What a waste to use Ireland as her book setting.
评分本来以为是东方快车谋杀案式的。。。情节有点拖沓,前面铺垫太多,能看下去主要是因为想看自己的推测对不对,还有个重要的原因是用词简单[捂脸],绝大多数高中词汇,有些英式用语看着看着也就明白了
评分失望的原因并不是因为能猜到whodunit, 也不仅仅是因为期待值太高而未达到(不少人拿它跟阿加莎的作品相比),主要还是因为将受害者和凶手同时隐藏到故事最后是很冒险的写法,这是一种比较漫长的build up, 因此当读者轻易猜到一切的时刻就会自然觉得anticlimactic……除此之外,各个人物登场虽然好像笔墨不少,但其实人物刻画的并不形象丰满(除了知道每个人都有过去的秘密就没什么其他的了),整个故事也没有什么可以凝练的现实意义(也许是我要求太高,但最近几年很多好的悬疑作品都有很不错的take home messages)...反正是失望的。唯一很成功的地方就是有声版的演员演绎得都很棒。
评分浮生若梦...自从开始新工作后就没有怎么看书了,counselling的课也停了,这周终于睡足一点来偷个闲...
露西•福利,英国当红侦探小说作家,被英国媒体誉为“当代阿加莎·克里斯蒂”。福利在杜伦大学和伦敦大学主修英国文学。之后,她做过几年小说编辑,在那段时间里,她开始创作自己的第一部小说《失与得之书》。露西现在是百万畅销书作家,忙于旅行取材、绘画和创作她的下一本小说。代表作品:《狩猎聚会》《宾客名单》。
The bride – The plus one – The best man – The wedding planner – The bridesmaid – The body
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.
But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast.
And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?
9月底,受新星出版社所托,写一篇露西.福利的《宾客名单》的书评,并于次日就收到了本书。其实一开始,我是拒绝的。拿人书籍给人写书评,未免有一些不得不吹捧本书的义务。所以我很希望,露西.福利的这本《宾客名单》能让我发自内心的写出一些赞美之词而不是受上述原因的束缚才...
