具体描述
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.

读后感
最近我随身的包里有两本书：一个纯白封面，一个纯黑封面。 白色的书，是沈浩波他们编的那版胡兰成的《中国文学史话》，除去牛皮纸书封后就是一个纯白的封面；黑色的书，是新星出版的伊恩•麦克尤恩的《阿姆斯特丹》，除去红色书封后是一个纯黑色封面。书籍装帧是一门学问，马...
评分摘自《新浪博客》 作者：诗哲魂 前几日子，在电视播放一个英国人在荷兰实施了安乐死全过程的录像之后，我遇到了麦克尤恩的小说《阿姆斯特丹》，在散漫中读了起来，我理解了安乐死是怎么回事，在回味真实的阿姆斯特丹发生死亡事件，让我内心得到前所未有的震惊！其实，这...
评分虽然都死得难看，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...
评分我觉得Ian McEwan的伟大之处就在于他的观察力，他真的能够把各行各业写活了，让读的人不得不信服。他描述作曲家谱曲时对灵感的捕捉也好，描述报纸主编的日常工作早间选题会也好，就连描述死去的这位会美食会摄影的大众情人拍摄保存的异装癖照片从布景打光上一看就是她的风格......

An astonishing plot by an excellent writer; A wild and thrilling survey of human morality and the nature of human interaction.
评分Gripping story, cleverly engineered. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. However the ending seems forced to me.

评分比atonement粗糙、浅显。全靠戏剧性的情节转折。最后以死亡告终-似乎是一种懒惰的结局。
评分一个关于时机的故事：人们如何一次次与自己追求的时机擦肩而过，而总是卷入错误的时机酿成错误。很可惜，一个过于工整和刻意的结尾完全毁了前文蕴含的不稳定性。
