具體描述
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.

讀後感
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...
評分在写关于这本书的内容之前，我很想先讲述一下读到这本书的契机。 前几天看到一部日剧，里面有这样一个场景，两个从小一起长大的好朋友，她们在学校内外一直形影不离，突然有一天，其中一个人（暂且称之为A）在网上受到了严重的恶意攻击，主导者就是她那个最好的朋友（称之为B）...

用戶評價
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All in all, things hadn't turned out so badly on the former lovers front. No former lovers exchanging glances. 喪禮引發的血案，結尾太狗血。
评分一刷完成……
评分Flawed as this novel might be in its perspective, its adequacy of ellipticality as well as its construction, especially that of the end, it is still a devastatingly lovable piece, for it has the haunting effects of the absence of the significant female character Molly, the careful delineation of the rarely-seen side and dirty facet of human nature.
