具体描述
Doris Lessing's contemporary gothic horror story—centered on the birth of a baby who seems less than human—probes society's unwillingness to recognize its own brutality.Harriet and David Lovatt, parents of four children, have created an idyll of domestic bliss in defiance of the social trends of late 1960s England. While around them crime and unrest surge, the Lovatts are certain that their old-fashioned contentment can protect them from the world outside—until the birth of their fifth baby. Gruesomely goblin-like in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and violent, Ben has nothing innocent or infant-like about him. As he grows older and more terrifying, Harriet finds she cannot love him, David cannot bring himself to touch him, and their four older children are afraid of him. Understanding that he will never be accepted anywhere, Harriet and David are torn between their instincts as parents and their shocked reaction to this fierce and unlovable child whose existence shatters their belief in a benign world.

读后感
万事令人厌烦，人不可能说尽。眼看，看不饱；耳听，听不足。已有之事，后必有之；已行之事，后必再行。日光之下，并无新事。 ——《旧约 传道书》 即使知道自己的执拗与自私已经深深伤害到了丈夫和父母，可她仍旧坚持从...
评分沒有人看這本《第五個孩子》時會有笑聲。如同它書封上寫著的，這是一本令人毛骨悚然的故事，所想必閱讀的時候，應該會是驚恐的，更別說是發出笑聲了。我不知道為什麼寫書介的人會用這「毛骨悚然」來形容它，是因為這第五個孩子「班」的怪異的行為，以及它根本不像人類的種種？...
评分 评分是不是人越活越复杂？想的越来越多，原本很简单纯粹的问题，总是会摊铺来看…… 海蕊和戴维的相识有点不可思议，对待婚姻对待孩子的态度倒是契合… 他们先后拥有了四名子女， 他们有着周围人觉得过大的房子， 他们有着与四个孩子生活并不等称的收入来源，幸好，他们的父母多少...
评分“可怜的班。” 这是小说中给我印象最深的一句话。 那时班还很小，他几乎不懂得这句话的含义，他称自己为“可怜的班”。也许只是因为他听到别人这么说他，也许，他真的觉得自己可怜。看到这里的时候，我脑中仿佛被一个大锤狠狠地震了一下，猛然惊醒过来。 班生活在一个幸福的家...

Happiness. That is what we all want.
评分Happiness. That is what we all want.
评分Presentation is a second creation.生词太难太多，泛读之。
评分Tremendously disturbed but I think deep down we're all at some level fascinated by a darker Quasimodo. As if compelled to see he finally bring about annihilation of everything we ever believed to be undestructable — the only right thing to be done. Totally understand Harriet, maternal, Catholic and fatalistic, but hell, I would go nowhere near her.
评分Happiness. That is what we all want.
