The Crooked Man has come, with his mocking smile and his enigmatic words:"Welcome, your majesty. All hail the new king."
And as war rages across Europe, David is violently propelled into a land that is both a construct of his imagination yet frighteningly real, a strange reflection of his own world composed of myths and stories, populated by wolves and worse-than-wolves, and ruled over by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a mysterious book...

评分“从前——故事都这么开头——有一个孩子,他失去了妈妈。”六年写下五本“查理·帕克”系列犯罪小说之后,约翰·康诺利离开了犯罪小说的康庄大道。这一次,主人公是这个十二岁的男孩戴维。 母亲去世后,戴维的父亲爱上了那家“算不上医院的医院”的负责人罗斯。半年后乔治出...
评分约翰·康诺利的《失物之书》如果没有开篇部分前六章的铺垫和结尾部分最后一章的陈述,只能算作一部中规中距的童话故事。那种讲述故事的方式几乎每个人能熟稔于心:很久很久以前,有个可怜的孩子,他失去了妈妈……按照某种已经固定化和经典化的童话故事模型,接下来情节是这个...
